You could have problems with your low pressure pump if it is standard you have to change it for sure About the intercooler there selling a bigger Bliz type one at Auto Barn check it out dude....

unless you put in bigger injectors there is no need to go any bigger than an avo stage 1 cooler, it will just be less efficient.

hyperflow have very good coolers.they are not cheap but are top quality.also they are at fairy meadow.go and talk to paul about them.he is most helpful. you really need to work out where you are going with the car.too many times ive seen people going for the cheaper alternative only to regret it down the track and end up doing things twice. so yeah work out how much power you wish to have and then you can make decisions about how much you should spend on different mods. theres no point doing things half assed and theres no point in massive overkill either
