K04 Modifications before map
« on: June 03, 2016, 10:12:00 am »
Hi all.

Planning to get my ED30 to re tech sometime in July.

Is it going to be beneficial to get a intake? (Have my eyes on a Neuspeed) or a Decat etc? (One on eBay) or will the gains not outweigh the cost! I know they recommend a decent panel filter at minimum just didn't know if a intake would be a preferred option.

Apart from that all I need is 5w40 and some v power?

I want to break the 340BHP bracket eventually, however if I see 300 out of stage 1 I'll be happy

3" decat downpipe will be your best hardware investment at this point, bang for buck.

With a sports cat (BCS) and panel filter you should see around 330 BHP. If you have a manual gearbox you'll have to think about a reinforced clutch (Helix organic disc with LUK dual mass flywheel from AKS Tuning, for example).
