My engine needs work done so perfect time to upgrade! I've been searching on here and I haven't found exactly what I'm after.
My 02 S3 is a daily and always will be, I don't do all that much mileage but I need the car.
So as its a daily I'd like more power but I'm not chasing figures.
BBT and badger 5 dont have stock so I'm going to have to wait. I'll need to get the clutch done so I can get the turbo work then.
I'd like a reliable 300bhp.
I've looked at the baby BBT but I'm reading here about need WMI. Is it needed for this low figure?
Standard injectors good enough?
Is a standard manifold good enough or am I better waiting for badger5's? The original will probaly be cracked and need replacing anyway.
I know that at 300 I don't need rods and to be honest for a daily I'm happy with 300 or a little more. From what I've read 320BHP+ rods are needed???
The engine bay is standard with the exception of a remap and a badger5 TIP.
I know a downpipe will make a difference as will a FMIC but they will have to wait, I've a big enough bill coming. Unless I get lucky and in that case I'll have a hhealthier budget for upgrades!
Any advice welcome. What are people's experiences?
