Hello all, I've been skulking in the shadows for a little while now, I've been having a look at some T5's on line.
So just got a couple of thoughts. First is there any pro's and con's between the 2.3 and 2.4?

From reading lots and lots of posts I'll be looking at doing the following mod's
Larger intercooler
Bigger injectors
Turbo back exhaust with 200 cell sports cat
Either cone filter or modified air box
All with a custom map.

I'm just wondering if firstly the car should still stay fairly reliable and what sort of figures could I expect?

As for the chassis I'm thinking poly kit then either coliovers or lowering springs and adjustable dampers.
Any thought?

Then if funds allow a big break conversion.

Looking forward to you thoughts and comments. Ben

With just those mods, theres no need for bigger injectors.

The big positive with the 2.4 is that when remapped, you get quite a bit more power than you would with the 2.3.

get the 2.4 much more to be had. keep an eye on the car sale section. mine might pop up soon. the 2.4 can easily reach 330 bhp.
