time vs. $ spent on the rollers for a factory rig like mine isnt worthy when you lay out a cost of gauges AND one of them better turbos off the shelf (ring patrolapart they said).
yes then car will still need put on rollers but the cost efficiency and gains is in the next league in contrast to tuning a brick stock patrol.
rest assured. my money is what they would hap[ily take. but i was given a quick spiel as such below and above.
The bt18 turbo on this thing can only do so much. new turbo alone would transform this car supposedly (as mentionedf by a few posters above). and pump being 11 on my model? not 10? or 12? they lost me there, @should@ be sufficient. just going by quick notes i jotted down on a pizza box during phone calls.
its only money they say. but other boxes then need ticking. 3 inch pipe and dump. gauges. ive noticed the turbos come with these, example the ufi 18 low mount to a sound of 2800 smackaroonies. remainder of exhaust then needs doing. and as above. intercooler then needs doing.
where does one draw a welded line.
what we (the missus mainly) own here is a unicorn with golden teeth (insurance company says so too judging by a*rse widening premium).
would happily spend $ on it as it is a keeper because so. just have to get right advice and put on right rails for purchases etc...
