Hi people
my gt4 is lightly moded and running 333bhp at thd fly. I would like to know the best way forward spending 800 - 1000 pounds. Current mods are as follows blitz electronic boost controller 1.1 bar pigy back unichip ( made no dam differance) high flow panel filter and resinator box removed vsv disabled bailey dump valve light weight alloy rad only because the standard one split organic clutch blitz nur spec r exhaust aussie down pipe. I have been thinking about a hybrid turbo. I know very little what is best, im open to opinion. Would I also need to upgrade the fuel pump if I went down this route? im not looking for huge power. something with a fair amount of power but reliable any ideas |

i would look for a great deal on a tuned ECU if you can find one (eliminate boost cut, speed limiter, and increase redline...mines, c-one, and a few others make them and can be found on ebay and such from time to time.) or a good "active" style map clamp to eliminate boost cut.
water/meth injection MOAR BOOST! with the water/meth injection, you can run quite a bit more boost than you are currently. guys here run as much as 1.5bar (~21-22psi) with it with great results (usually in the ~330+ wheel HP range) steer clear of the "hybrid" ct based turbo upgrades, there isnt anything on this side of the pond that will spool as well and make more power than the dinky 20b without fitting a proper kit, or building your own. im not sure what it works out to in euros, but if your looking for something to use to control your engine better, and set the stage for future mods, the power FC has great bang for the buck potential. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

I really wanted to run the power fc. I could not find any for sale. I searched for over a month then gave up. In the end I settled for the piggy back unichip. This gained me about 3hp pritty poor really. I must admit the car is alot more responsive. I dont believe it was worth the 550 pound it cost.
Will the power fc be better than the unichip? |
