mods, man i got mods for i comming out my ears.
including custom, up piping and turbo back and a half dump tip, plus computer from a new rsk b4 so more power, or a different link computer.
then, full window tinting, lowered as much as i can on king springs, nolathane bushes.
jamex bucket seats and maybee 4 point belts if i can figer out how to mount them with out being anti social, if ya know what i mean (so ppl can ride in the back)
oh and maybe sway bars and a short shifter 8)
i may add to the list but prob not.
should be able to do it all on about $2000.
the exhaust i will only have to pay for parts, i have a freind who works in an exhaust shop and he owes me a few favors now.
also 17's in the rolling dep (cause tyres for 16's are more expensive)

Hey Warlord,

What do you mean by "up" pipes?
Bell mouth pipe is fairly easy if you have the right equipment, you would be better off probably giving it to an engineer or maybe even an exhaust shop that will have the appropriate machine to make a pipe bellmouthed. Or buy a piece already done.
My down pipes go from a large collector encompassing the wastegate and turbo outlet into a 3" system all the way through. Some people will say that you shouldn't change the dump pipe size off the primary turbo because you will cause it to overboost and thus fail earlier, i've heard both sides of the story and in 5 months i haven't had any problems. Also not one of the people who told me about the overboosting problem had ever actually seen it they had just "heard" about it from a "friend". So it's up to you.
It will be LOUD with one single muffler.
I would also be checking on procing for all those mods you plan as for $2000 i think you would be lucky to get 2 of them done let alone all of them. A computer from a new B4 would be thousands on its own and i would seriously doubt whether it will a) be compatible and b) provide any performance improvement. You would be better off getting an aftermarket piggyback computer designed for the car and having it tuned that way.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Mat :shock:

up pipes, the pipes that go from the exhaust manifold up to the turbo, i changed my mind about them i will probably only remove the cat convertors out of them.
also drmat what is the ride height of your car, measured from the center of the hub to the edge of the guard.
i think i'll do what you did, but i will only be using 2.5 inch off the back of the turbo, so i still have boost from way down.
man our cars look nearly identical, except you have different wheels and tints.

well i just rang around.
$50 for both flanges for the back of the turbo
plus $33 per metre for 3 inch exhaust (2.6mm wall aluminiumised steel)
plus $20 per metre for 2 inch exhaust (same stuff)
free labour :D
so thats $130 to do the exhaust
lowereing springs $400 (jamex 40mm)
tinting $368
seats $345 ea
total so far $1588

short shifter is gunna be free cause i'll make it my self.
all the other install i'll do my self aswel.

My ride height is standard Warlord, hasn't changed as yet but i'll measure it for you anyway when i get a chance.
There isn't any cat converters in the up pipes, there is one coming off the primary turbo to the exhasut and then one larger one once the two pipes have come together.
YOu have a very different grill from my car... is it standard or aftermarket?
