I am prepearing my car for drag races what other modifications do you suggest especially turbo upgrade and i have one big problem because of brembo ı couldnt fit small wheels so i didint use slick tyres which is 18 inch

If its power your after then i guess a IHI would do the trick...
Ever thought of NOS its cheapish and you get good gains.

Because of drag rules if i use nos ı have to race in group six; which means I have to race with cars which has displacement of 4590cc(because turbo + nos)
Which model of IHI do you suggest ı heard garett t28rs is also good but i dont know which would be better in drag racing

my car is also Ovni yellow:)

You can run your brake setup on 17" competition type wheels from Compomotive.. MO's in 8x17 for example, CXR's etc.... so more pukka tyre choice for you maybe.
Tyres will be your biggest advantage if slicks are allowed. (Micky thompsons, BF Goodridge Profilers etc etc)

Many thanks
Do you mean that can i use 17'' wheels without changing but just adjusting my Brembo's or does Compomotive wheels just fit,if so that will be coool because Brembo saves me many times
And slicks are allowed many of my opponent use them but i havent tried yet but i am planning to do so
And what does 8x 17'' stand for 17'' is the wheel diameter i think

The category i am racing 4wd cars arent allowed but RWD is fine but i dont want to change my car with bigger turbo and slick tyres i will be fine i think
does a Quaife differential help any suggestions.
