Hi all, i am going to pick up my new nova C20let today, which i am hoping to get upto 300bhp in time for this years shows.
Im not sure which chip is best to achieve this figure, and which other mods will help me get there

the car has got: FMIC
hybrid k16 with k24 compressor wheel,
xe inlet cam,
aftrmarket exhaust but not sure of the bore
8v sump

Thanks guys

My old Nova was 245 bhp and was running an EDS Phase 1 chip. Only other thing i had was a FMIC.

245 bhp was quick enough and reliable enough for an everyday car.

You wont get 300 reliably on the standard turbo.

EDS phase 2 will get you lots of fun

Just bought the car back n what a day... bloody thing, needs a new AFM according to the bloke so was running ruff and to add to the fun popped 2 of the boost pipes off :/ so new plan... think i might go for 250bhp and get it all reliable and make sure there no major proplems and go from there, will spend tomorrow stripping the chavtastic interior out (which will be for sale soon) and gettng the AFM sorted im just hoping that is the real problem and nothing major.
So EDS phase 1 is the route i need to be looking, anyne have a link to somewhere that sells it?
Cheers guys

Good luck with it hope you've not bought a sack of shiite.

Welcome to PNG btw ;) Get some pictures up of your motor or even start a project thread :) pictures work after 15 posts and best to use photobucket.

I would get it running 100% and make sure all parts on it are decent and reliable before increasing the power

phase 3 eds with power wheel (can change boost levels in car) so can run at standard power then just whack it up when needed
