HI There guys and gals.

I have a TE auto 2.4 Engine, Duel Fuel. It seems sluggish on both gas and petrol (the same performance with both in fact, so its not the gas....).

It does run OK generally and is in good health, but I think there is much more power to be realised than the std MMAL set up allows - especially taking off (yes, it flys...) lol

I would be interested to hear of any mods or stories of people with the same car who have realised power gains and any lessons learned along the way they can share would be appreciated.

I am thinking of
Hi flo CAT from RPW (though someone advised agianst this for some reason with the Gas calibration - any advice on this?),
A lukey Stanless Steel Sports rr muffler,
A bigger throttle body (RPW, 59mm),
And someone is on about a New Zealand Cold Air Intake - but My car already pull airs into the airbox from between the bonnet and the grill a the front so sould be cold enough (What gives - am I missing somehing - the guys trying to sell it to me reckons it worth 2-4 KW but I just can't see it delivering anything to the bottom line?)

So what do you think chaps - any reccommendations or advice please - I am in Adelaide so any wreckers or tuning places you can point out would be good also. Thanks

Stuart
