Ok, time for some stupid question, with the car came with a TD04HL - 16T, ally inter cooler, I also bought a 850 NA intake manifold which I will need a throttle body, MAF?? as well, there is also a 3" down pipe which will need modified slightly and it's de-catted

So can I bolt all this stuff on and it would work? or am I chasing my tail and just do the intake and down pipe.

not looking for huge figures just more drivability.

Cheers

That would need a tune of some sort.

I’d suggest MTE Sweden, Mark Richardson (VP Tuning. / Voldat) Mark loads the tune he is Australia distributer.

I think I know who you mean, he often chirps in on the wave page if it's the same person, would another option go for a T5 ecu from a 98 with injectors? assuming they use the same MAF

Pre ETM so a throttle body ypu csn pretty much bolt everything on.

All depends on lots of things. Habe a look at this. I run a VAST tune with minimal issues. Its not perfect but it's fine for me.

Like any old car if you modify or upgrade 1 part you must upgrade the next.
Eg you can't just fit injectors with out a good fuel pump ect. Ypu ge

TL_V70

You get the idea.

I got a full stock internal 97 T5 2.3 auto with just the bolt ons and its been happy with a 20 psi VAST tune for a couple of year now. Just about to approach 180km. I use good parts and good fuel and service it regularly.

I am also in Perth

Where abouts are you? yeah this car is stock had stage 1 done aournd 5 years ago and prob needs a freshen up, intercooler hoses, turbo vacuum lines etc, etc

Ex850R

Nah, 5 years is nothing.

Unless they used junk products or didn’t do it right.

Car still drives really nice and smooth, it's developed a steering rack leak, one thing that happened was the expansion tank boiled over about 3-4weeks ago straing after shutting the car off, but has been fine since, and a similar thing happened to me years ago with the car, I put it down to being a hot day and the turbo being extremely hot and not getting a chance to cool down properly?

Ex850R

Do combustion gas check.

Not normal
