philip1 I am trying to put together enough parts to make some decent power I have purchased an LSJ ecotec mani (ION redline) installed a remus style center pipe and a CAI I am not sure what kind of power I will be making but I am hoping for somewhere over 150bhp. My car has a factory rating of just 130bhp so anything will be a huge improvement.
Matt Good stuff, if you can, put a list in here of what you get, and it might give some other members some ideas for their future mods.
UKEZ Throttle Body Phil have a read of this... Its something in the pipe line for us over here! Just to upset you some more buddy lol.... rofl.. http://www.vx220.org.uk/forums/index.ph ... 2760&st=80
philip1 I have installed the mani and I must say WE GOT SCREWED IN THE US!!! this car is much stronger (I'm not saying I gained 100bhp installing it but it is a feelable gain in power) I will have G-tec numbers soon. rallygif
philip1 g-tec doesn't lie I seem to have lost power with the mani or could it be the high humidity and 37c temps

philip1 I removed the CAI and re-installed the factory airbox. I have my torque back and still pulls strong to redline.
