62horses at the wheels and counting

Ok.
After the RR day and the 62horses I am starting together plans to improve the performance (3figures at the wheels is what I am aiming for)

My first port of call is t up the boost to 7/8psi through an uprated actuator.

What next and what performance improvements could I expect?

What mods have you done so far ?
Intercooler ? Head work ? Cam ?
Are the engine/box in good condition and will they take a big power hike ?

Running Dump Valve and an intercooler.

Engine and box seem in very good nick. Doesn't burn oil, runs sweet.

I suspect the uprated actuator at 8psi will make a big difference so now looking at what next.

Decent cylinder head and a cam will be the next logical step, then 1.5 rockers.
Depending on how low you go with the compression you can always run more boost. :cool:
Is the transmission totally standard ? If so i would at the very least add a hardened diff pin, or better still a twin pin.
