Nice looking car Rob :thumbs:

 

If you do a search you should find a few threads about getting a bit more power out of the NA. A few members have fitted SS header bought from THIS COMPANY

 

Dumping the HKS filter and refitting the stock airbox may give you better response, due to the 2 cold airfeeds. The improved filtration will also be much kinder to your engine.

thanks guys,

the xerd header is something ive been lookin at but im not sure if and when i will go na-t.

 

As for weight reduction im a bit stuck there as i dont really know what to remove, i want the car to still retain its road car look so stripping the whole interior is a no no for me.

 

as for the filter, ive read on a few sites that the stock airbox is much more efficient i was thinking of relocating the filter to behind the front bumper behind one of the vents, roughly where a stock tt ic would sit. whats your opinions on this idea????
