I didn't realise you could make most of it up yourself- if you reckon it can
be done for $100 and you're chasing maximum power then it sounds like a good
idea to me!
A lot of the gains on that white circuit racer featured in zoom a year or so
back were from the extensive work on the cylinder head and inlet manifold,
are you planning on modifying the cylinder head and inlet manifold too?
Which turbo are you planning on using?

As much as possible on the standard computer until I take the step to an
