Chasing

Hello.

So I am chasing more power, foolish I know. I own well the 2.0L Turbo 04 GT etc etc auto I might add. only 94k Km on the car. I have the
-kinugawa turbo TD04HL-19T with a 1.5 bar
-custom dump, high flow cat etc,
-ARC top mount
-GFB pullys
.... don't know what else i need to add about the motor. Also not so active on the forum usually check if day by day.

Now abit about the limitations, I do not have a fuel station close to me with E85, the closest is basically an hour and a bit away. On a positive note, I do have a local bloke who can assist and tune if I need too.
What are some of my options, I am curious to hear what I can do to get that little more out of the motor whilst retaining some form of reliability. If there is not much I can do let me know Thanks :)

Bigger turbo and quality tune?

There's a little bit more you can do ;)
silicon inlet pipe.
3port boost control.

then if you want more power, you might need to look at changing manifold/turbo. My ideal turbo is a blouch 1.5XT-R twin scroll, on tomei expreme headers.

I have the direct bolt on replacement which i am sorta satisfied and tuned by matt (kidotune), I also have a zero sports silicon inlet pip, prova panel filter and the 3 port boost controller. But when i installed the turbo i got a retune by Matt and was told to run the stock boost controller to run more boost. so I guess what are your thoughts and is there anything else ahah?

I would like to because i know the power is there and it is manual which i miss a lot, but I cant run E85..... well i can but i dont want to drive a fair distance to get it and then back. I was thinking about selling mine and buying a wrx sti but i cant force myself to I like the libs more then the rex.

If you were serious, I could easily get it tuned on 98. If you wanted, you could also add a front mount which I have in the garage (at additional cost obviously :) )

although the offer is tempting, I will have to decline ahah, to much of a drive plus my lib has some history within my family.

Ahhh but I want more, I am so greedy I know ;) trying to sort a lot more out such as if my rims will clear brembo brakes and turbo stuff so I am tired of that already.
