Does it handle good and has decent suspension?

If not I'd spend money on that before making it faster.

Very very good point, everything else should done before power increase, what suspension set up and brakes does it have ?

Still think you need a thread in projects for it Joe

i will get a projects thread up soon, its got uprated shocks and poundage springs on it already, although my coilovers will be refurbed as soon as i have some spare cash.

As ive already said in this thread Power wont be done 1st im just trying to find out as much information on it all as a turbo is a whole new concept for me to get my head around.

The engine seems fine to me but I'm going to get someone to have a good look over it. It's got a frontera fmic and 2" solid boost pipes with silicon hoses on the bends. No chav valve on it thou .

The 1st upgrade is going to be an F28. Then all start purchasing chips and what's needed to run them.

I wouldn't bother upgrading to an F28 if your only running Phase 1 or 2. My F20 and most of my mates have never failed on that power. I don't see F28 as much of an upgrade as its a lot of headache.

Also i've used eBay chips before with no problems.

Is it ever going to handle well with a big engine fitted? I used to run my Nova LET P1 on gmax sport kit and it was fine.

Joe, mine had a F20 on it for yrs. It's still going strong now.

I had an EDS stage 1 chip. Frontera front mount. It made 245 Bhp on 2 different rollers.

It was good enough for a 13.4 1/4 mile.

They were about £250 fitted iirc.

sounds good to me still i reckon i want a 6th gear haha just the £250 odd for a box which is putting me off atm

may get my coilovers refurbed asap and then start looking for phase 2, then once phase 2 bore's me look for an f28 then up the power abit more.

it will be left as is thou for a while as i kind of need a reasionable MPG haha

Not the best pic, but its the first i found. Bit circled is the recirc valve (std dump valve)



Check its plumbed in, remove the 6 bolts and check it can all move freely on the insides.

[Plug]

its there and its got a bit of vacum hose coming off it with a bolt in it, im guessing thats wrong?

I would rep you again benn your being very helpful . there will be loads more questions im sure haha
