Hi iv got a H reg 480 turbo done 130k just got the welding sorted what shud i do next.

1. Brakes upgrade (as their a bit rubbish at the minute)
2.richmod (if i can find 1)
3.new airfilter (mine has a rubbish dirty k&n)
4. maybe a -21 actuator (if i can get 1)
5. T25 turbo
6. s/s exhaust with a removable decat pipe
7.and a front mount intercooler (if its worth buying)
Any other ideas

would an induction kit (purpose made, not this universal rubbish!) be better than just an air filter?

I have seen induction kits for 480 Turbos on eBay before...

i was thinking of gettin a standard airbox and putting a highflow airfilter in and maybe drilling the box in the right place

Yes use a standard airbox and maybe a good filter then expend the air intake pipe to front of car to cold air.

Do not use a cone filter in the engine bay.

2nd. I think you have non vented disks so change calipers and discs for vented.
