Hi All,

New to the group but just wanted some advice really..have recently picked up a rover tomcat turbo, looking to get some work done to it in the next few weeks, here's what I was thinking of but any suggestions for what could get more bhp but also not putting to much pressure on engine box etc

- has already been lowered all around poly bushes etc
- already has dump valve, k&n filter
- exhaust also already done

Thinking of doing the following:

- redoing exhaust from front to middle taking out the resonator & decating, should make it less restricted
- have a boost actuator valve to run it on 1.0 or 1.2 psi
- upgrade breaks n discs drilled & grooved
- redo the piping & relocate the k&n for better air supply
- upgrade spark plugs
- thinking of a remap
- need to add boost gauge and oil pressure gauge

Any other suggestions or better suggestions??

Sorry would add pics but not sure how to do it

- redoing exhaust from front to middle taking out the resonator & decating, should make it less restricted

Just decat it, no point messng about £35

- have a boost actuator valve to run it on 1.0 or 1.2 psi

Be careful upping the boost, a tiny bit is fine but on standard internals and 25 year old engine is risky

- upgrade breaks n discs drilled & grooved

Unless you are going big dont bother. I run 326mm discs and brembo calipers

- redo the piping & relocate the k&n for better air supply

Standard air box better or proper stainless shield around box

- upgrade spark plugs

Service it

- thinking of a remap

Cant do it anyone who says they can is being dishonest

- need to add boost gauge and oil pressure gauge

Why

Upgraded brakes may mean the standard 15''alloys will not fit

282s from zr 160 zs 180 620 ti fit under the 15s

Not without 5mm wheel spacers if you have standard Turbo alloys

220 coupe turbo is probably the ultimate Rover
