2.8 Bora 4motion's

[nashan]

Hey guys, just a post to all you 2.8 Bora 4motion drivers out there. Just wondering what different mods you guys have done. I know there arn't many of us. I did the CAI intake today and KNN Pod Filter. All done for $170 from Autoone. Chrome piping too! Came up really good. Ill be posting some pics over the next couple of days. Ive got the eyelids and tinted tail lights and getting some 19s over the next few days.

What other mods have you guys done that you recommend? Also what chips do we reccomend on these cars. Ive spoken to a few places and they/ve said the 2.8's are very untunable. Is this true?

P.S. Post some pics if you can!

Cheers
Nathan

O and i almost forgot, what do you guys recommend for exhaust modifications?

They are tunable just depends on how much money you have to spend. Exhaust is nearly always Mill-tek.

There is a post about tuning a little while back, search for it. Some of the shop owners posted what you could potentially do.

Yeah i was looking a cat back exhaust and was quoted 1600. Might look into a highflow cat too. What sort of power increase would i be looking at a catback exhaust and chip?

[qsilverza]

Not much. I guess 20hp as a guestimate...

Yeah thats not too bad, id be happy with that. I just need enough to beat my mates gti. Hehe only a car length behind. His has been chipped and had the suspension done. Ill have him soon.

Also have any of you guys got 19s on your bora? Im getting some next week. Do they scrub much after the cars been lowered 50mm or so?

19's will slow you down off the line but look oh so sexy!

i hope the filter is not exposed from underneath. You dont want it to suck up water
