I don't mind spending good money to get something worthwhile. I have been researching a lot and to be honest I am more lost then before.

Any advice would be appreciated...lol

Are you lost or just really dont know what you want?

If you can answer this it will make things easier. What do you want to achieve with upgrades?

When winnie got his it was making 82kw

I can't remember what the first dyno I got was... I think it was 76 or something, that 82 was after the new turbo and cooler but before the tune.

To be honest I'm lost because I don't know what I want.

in the interim i want more power for towing the camper on long trips. I want more power for off road use and for general onroad driving and of course the wank factor of just having more power. Not going to lie on that last point.

Leah's commodore is coming close to its death. I have "long" term plans of getting Leah a nice auto 4wd for our family trips and my gq will eventually simply be a fun weekend car to dip into more challenging things.

You should be pretty happy with those numbers out of your little turbo mate. Small second hand turbo. It's doing pretty well. What is Boost set at now?

There is a very good Pump guy not far from you AB and he will put a 12mm plunger and rebuild your pump for under $2k. Just down the road.

Yeah he is a guy that sets up a lot of Competition stuff down this way. Low key but highly recommended to me. You can spend soooo much money on Pump mods, mild to wild. This guy was going to do my pup rebuild on the GUIV when I was chasing that fuel problem a year or so ago. Was weeks away from spending the money on a rebuild when I found the split fuel line causing my trouble. Lol
