Hello,

Looking at a power upgrade and this is what I've got in mind:

MHI TF06-18k Turbo
Injector Dynamics 1000cc
DeatschWerks 65c Fuel pump
Drop in HKS Filter (already installed)
ETS Upper IC piping
ETS Intercooler
Grimspeed EBC Solenoid
Cobb Inlet hose
Milltek Turbo back exhaust (already installed) (mounts to stock o2 housing)

I was debating about the Ultimate Racing o2 eliminator downpipe, whether its a necessity or not.. (Right hand drive, limited options)

I'm hoping for about 400whp. Do you think this will be achievable with the stock o2 housing? Or do I have to fork out for the UR downpipe?

I've read about the UR downpipe not giving any performance increase, with a stock turbo. Which made me think the stock o2 was pretty reasonable at the very least and might do.

With the aftermarket turbo, it'll help. I would also do a manifold. The MAP cast stainless one is a really good upgrade and you won't have to worry about it breaking like a tubular manifold.

Will read about the manifolds tonight, thanks.

It will help sure, but if 400whp is my goal. Do you think it's necessary for me to change the o2 housing? Don't wanna spend 350 + labour if I could still get 400 without it.

Changing the O2 for an O2 eliminator style down pipe should cost $0 if you're already doing a turbo upgrade, same with a manifold. That all comes out of the car to remove the turbo.


I would also do a real intake if you can.

Well I've taken your advice and will go with the ETS intake.

Also asked the mechanic the install cost of a turbo and o2 downpipe. Will see how cheap it is since he'll have the turbo out. If its virtually nothing, I suppose it'd be silly to skip it.
