Curious as to what I should do now? It's running standard boost.

Any suggestions??

I was thinking upping the boost somehow (again, any suggestions). Also what could I up it to and would I also be advised to go for a fuel pump?


I'm new to the gti-r and any help is appreciated!

Having said that, it's just an 'R' badge on the front isn't it?

Thats not bad then, better than the false GT-R badge!!

Possibly. I had my mr2 on ebay and that's how the owner of the pulsar contacted me. Just done a swap as I have a baby on the way and need the space!

I think with them modifications you should be running at least 1bar (15psi) easy.

Mine came running 1 bar, but I've been told upping the standard to 1 bar is a MAJOR improvment.

Nah.. deffo running 9psi.

What would be the easiest/best way to go about upping the boost? Also would I encounter any fueling issues?

Are bleed valve/grainger valves any good? Also what's a dawseys device??

With the mr2 I had a unichip so that done everything for me.


Cheers for any help..... much appreciated!

will do mate!! i was going to pop there for a burger but i was guessing no one would be there with it being a holiday today.

if i was to guess i'd say with all the work thats been done to your car you could almost guarantee its got a 255 ltr fuel pump fitted

only way to tell is to physically look into the fuel tank - take 5 mins to do ;-)

do it when theres hardly any petrol in it, its right at the front of the tank (inside a cradle)
