s60 2.4 t going to start modding

[drivermad]

Hey going to make a start on modding my s60 2.4t runs at 200bhp the car is totally standard atm,
Going to set a budget of 500 pm for buying things what would you recommend buying first? And why?

Cheers in advance

[drivermad]

Also would be grateful for links to parts etc as this is my first project and still a bit of a noob,

exhaust, cone filter remap.

[M-R-P]

I've started from the outside and worked my way to the remap..

i.e. sort the suspension (shocks, springs, bushes)
Brakes (bigger/better, dot 5.1 fluid)
stage zero tune up (all fluids, all filters, clean or replace injectors)
new hoses (upgrade boost hoses, Vac hoses, tcv,)
Then look at exhaust and downpipe
bigger turbo?

then get a custom map to suit all your mods.

Don't overlook the suspension and brakes, there's no point making it go fast if it can't put it down or get you round the twisties without climbing a tree!

Just corrected your typo Mr P

At no point did I say I'd actually got the remap...

k24 will be no good. compression will be to high.

that looks pukka

Actually if he can get a custom map done then he can run less boost but still get good power due to the higher compression .

Looks even better in the metal mate.

but if that was the case it would be cheaper and easier to buy a t5 in the first place.

Sorted out the C70's exhaust yet mate ?

[stribo]

Not yet, got the DP to fit to the R as well.

But he hasn't got a t5 he wants to mod his lpt so yes you can run a bigger turbo and can still make good power .im not saying it's going to make the same power as a modded t5 but it can be done .i modded an lpt .

As smithy has said, you can run a K24 but you will also need to get green injectors and a custom remap. Alternatively you could run a 16T with white/blue injectors wind the boost up to 9.5psi and run standardish T5 power without a remap. Altho you would be better off getting a remap for the changes and maximum benefit.

I have run mine for over 2 years without a remap with no problems too speak off.
