dont necessarily need the 4bar fr matey.. Have you got an uprated downpipe fitted with your exhaust ? Race cat ??

Check my link in my sig for what i have on mine.. Was told by custom code that i had a very good spec for the ko3s map ;)

Does samco hoses mean you have an uprated tip? as the standard ones are very restrictive, and as you say a 4bar but only if you plan to go stage 2 iirc.

You should really have a turbo back, but at least a bigger downpipe / sports cat as Dan says above.

Oh yeah and make sure you get decent discs and pads ;)

it says in your sig you have a 3" downpipe, if thats a blueflame one they come with a sports cat and mated with a supersprint exhaust will do just the same as a miltek if not better so dont waste your money.
And yes you have a TIP, its the big blue pipe that connects from your turbo to your maf / dynatwist and has the pcv and dump valve coming out from it.

sounds like just a 4bar and you're good to go stage 2 / custom map :)

just not 100% on my back box, i like the miltek twin pipe similar to the standard one, but not made up my mind yet.

I see a forge TIP as well. All good.

007p forge valve as well.

With those mods be careful there isnt a k03s on there already.
