hi all im going to start using my99 uk turbo for trackdays as i carnt sell it and want to no what the best set up for me would be.
I no there are lots of threads just like this but i want to be sure that its the right set up for my car,
my car is currently using a td05 16g
440s
walbro
fpr
apexi air filter
sti8 intercooler with bonet scoop and under tray
ecuteck remap
running 341bhp

I no people say that top mounts suffer heat soak so i have heat rapped the down pipe and fitted a turbo jacket plus the origanal heat sheild, i have raised the bonnet about 30mm also to let the heat out faster, im also looking into fiting the water spayer on the sti8 tmic.
With all this would i benefit from a fmic still ?

 

yes as the air coming in is cool all the time, and you would make slightly more power because of all the ignition advance that can be put in, although i would think your 440's are maxed anyway.

 

yeah i was thinking of getting some 550s just to make sure its safe to.

 

I would keep it at that power. Given you are on standard internals and a standard box.

Spend the money on regular oil changes, tyres and the rest of track related expense.

If you want to spend money..throw it at the brakes and/or suspension.

And just do as much as you can to keep the cool bits cool and the hot bits hot

 

anymore power is going to be expensive
injectors are maxed,turbo is maxed,engine maxed

 

got alcon calipers and 330mm discs ferodo ds2500 pads, standard rears and tien ha coilovers.

stedee im waiting for you to get back to me about the pistions so i can make my engine safer.

 

sorry what did you want to know, i thought you wanted them saturday or was that somebody else???

 

i will still have them just waiting to hear from you
