renewed insurance with brentacre, and any cosmetic mods including air filter and exhaust system is included in the insurance at no extra cost, so my mods are all declared. So expect to see exhaust manifold on soon along  :smiley: Vernier pulley and remap will be next on the list and that should be my engine mods done to achieve 150 horses  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

thanks guys :smiley:

Even better plans for it now though. Had a nice long chat with Danny_p and he suggested some awesome ideas.
He is gonna check for me a few things about injectors from Saabs, he says the saab 9000 turbo injectors are a direct swap for the 8v ones and cos they are the bosch green tops they will provide far better fuel delivery and more power. As he owes me an ECU, he is going to speak to a friend of his that works with emerald boxes and he is gonna get hold of one, we shall then fine tune it and try and get that fuel/air ratio back to 12.5:1, and as well as emerald ecu an ABF throttle body will also provide better air flow  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:. He was also talking bout turboing rather than supercharging, saying it would be easier to turbo it and give better power too, and still keep the costs down thanks to cheap subaru turbos laying about. Boost is for when insurance is far cheaper though, so not until at least a years time.
Keep watching this space :cool:

So you have now posted on a open forum that you have undeclared mods.

most young people have nothing declared, and for my first two years of driving I declared nothing.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
