What can I maybe expect bhp wise?

Walbro 255
High flow turbo elbow
3'' turbo back exhaust
Bigger intercooler
Cold air induction
Plus a remap

I'm fairly new when it comes to making cars quicker

I've also picked up a poly bush master set
And steel blow of valve.

Any idea what bhp I might gain with this?

Plus and vet advice I will take to heart!

Thanks for looking

Be careful what intercooler you buy, as some of them are not as good as the one you already have (cheap ones like eBay etc)

Apart from that it's a good list!

Where are you based?

Good stuff

Is the car standard so far?

It'll be stage 1ish after all that so anywhere between 350-400 bhp dependant on mapper and how much boost they push

Pretty sure it is. I had a stage 2 clutch in my mr2 and the 7's one feels just as stiff you maybe there was an uprated clutch put in at some stage.

What else could you advice me to do?

Are you running good tyres?

Brake pads?

Even if it's standard clutch it should cope, a decent upgrade at your power or stage 1 is the evo 9 clutch that's what I have.

What are you planning on using the car for?

I'll be putting 4 quality tires on it soon enough. My friends are started to get into going to track days so it will probably be seeing light track work. Other than that, it's a daily driver

That's good

Get yourself on a track day you'll learn where the weak areas of the car are. Power will be plenty as you will se lots of cars with less power than you.

The first trackday I went to I changed the colour of the paint on the brembos! From red to burnt red lol

Since then saved up and sorted a full of ksports which are fab done nurburgring and lots of trackdays and haven't over powered em :D

You don't need the intercooler and it could result in less power. Expect 350-380. If your BOV is actually steel, then maybe 100 BHP :D

Aye, that's something that was at the back if my mind , but the intercooler is alreadt in the process of being put in. If my stock one is better, it'll be going straight back in.

As far as the blow off valve, It had a hks knock off one in it already.
My sisters husband had one already that he was planning on putting Into his r34 gtt.

It's a stealth one that he picked up in Australia, where you can twist it to adjust the whistle . It's better quality that the knock off that I had in it , plus it's free... So why not

My BOV comment was just a piss-take as you said it was steel, ergo would be incredibly heavy. However I guess it'll actually be made of stainless steel which is lighter and still technically steel. What I'm saying is that this was not my best thought-out joke :)
