Hi Guys,

I have recently aquired a 2005 gtvi AWD verada and im in melbourne.

I want to do the following mods and would like to know where people have purchased them from (and how much?) some i already know but looking at all my options. I have gone over as many members rides as possible but really want to work with this car (love it) have got the coin for stage 1 right now and not long before stage 2 is there aswell.


Stage 1
1. Hi flow Throttle Body (rpw/zero)
2. Strut Brace (whiteline/rpw)
3. Front Sway Bar (whiteline/rpw)
4. Rear Sway Bar (is there one for the AWD ??)
5. Trans Cooler
6. Air Intake (rpw/??)

Stage 2
7. Extractors (rpw? - which ones - looking at the end for supercharged)
8. Hi-Flow Cat (??)
9. Reflashed ECU (steve knight-thanks zero)

Stage 3
10. Eton/Rotax Supercharger
11. ECU to suit further work

Stage 4
12. Major Internal work (mate is an engine builder)

Stage 1
1. Hi flow Throttle Body (EZboy) has been doing them for years and are awesome quality and i think he has a special on ATM see the sponsor section in the for sale thread$80 i think
2. Strut Brace (Supercheap was the cheapest when i got mine)$180
3. Front Sway Bar (Supercheap was the cheapest when i got mine)$220
4. Rear Sway Bar (Supercheap was the cheapest when i got mine)$220
5. Trans Cooler (Wreckers get one of a second gen) Price will vary
6. Air Intake (Best advice is make your own its really easy i made mine and it was the same as RPWs but half the price.) i payed 200 all up including POD filter silicone and polished metal
Stage 2
7. Extractors (PM Ezboy he tested a heap on his AWD) around $600
8. Hi-Flow Cat (magnaflow are your best bet any exhaust shop will be able to get one and ft it for you)$200
9. Reflashed ECU (steve knight-thanks zero)

Stage 3
10. Eton/Rotax Supercharger(dont forget raptor they are a sponsor on here)$4800
11. ECU to suit further work(same again raptor do a morristech ECU and it is very good and can do almost everything)$1100

Chuck a Streetfighter Manifold (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61690) onto your list too. EZ Boy (the developer of it) has it on an AWD too, and he says it made a dramatic difference.

Also, I don't know if I'd bother getting the ECU reflashed if you're just going to replace it with a piggyback/aftermarket one later on. I'd be inclined to go for a Streetfigher/Prosequential ECU (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61943) package. Then you can reuse the same ECU whenever you add a blower.
