Todd Mark H is not on this forum - yet - but I built the car - I'm his dad ! Then I sold it to him as I still prefer the V8's. It is not far from stock. The only mods are ... It has a dump pipe, pretty much standard exhaust, Trust front mount intercooler - 4" thick - everyone now says I should have gone 3" as you get more air through them, and an electronic E-Boost set at 12 psi. X-Speed did the intercooler and E-Boost install. Anything over 12 psi and she hits the fuel cut out. The rest are only cosmetic changes. If it was my car ( again ) I would install the big twin pipe turbo exhaust exit pipe upgrade to the dump pipe to get away from the stock turbo exhaust manifold and also open up the exhaust a little more - size wise - and with less bends. I think that would get you close to the max HP of a standard ceramic wheeled stock system. Also we must remember it is a factory manual ( R154 ) so you loose less HP through the box as well. After this you get into the bigger $'s and I was going to copy the basic setup of Emanuel Spinola car - 327 KW ( 438HP )

Thanks for that Blaine, i was more curious to Marks output because it was so close to mine, actually a couple hp more. i have custom twin dumps off the turbos going into a complete 3" system including 3" cat, and a apexi pod filter, thats about it and yeah shes a manual. with those mods boost naturally hits inbetween .8 and .9 bar (12/13psi). im still using the stock fmic. thanks again. -Todd.
