Finally after a couple years I pulled my finger out and went to a full ECU and Dyno tune...I had been previously playing around with various mods to get more power out of the little 1.5lt Turbo.
I tried a special YR Advance Solenoid http://www.yr-advance.com/ this provided me with around ~1.1bar boost..Upped from stock ~0.9bar.
Very happy with this...then i got there exhaust...then the airbox...i love there stuff
Quality is top notch!
Changed to the airbox after the pod suffered from to much heat soak...it is a crazy price...dont know if it was worth it...but i went a lil crazy and got it.
I believe i can sell it at a later date. But its working nicely for now.
~$700AUD
Takes a bit of effort to install and remove...its so precise mounts nicely in the stock airbox position
The airbox uses a dual intake system. Ram air from the front and a 2ndary intake on the side...
Plan is to remove the battery and locate it at the back and run another cold air intake to the side...
I was a cheap ass and decided to install my own intercooler after I got ridiculous quotes. Put it in for about 250$ and half a days work.
It is from a Xr6 got it for $100.lots cheaper than the 2k Greedy version. Cooler survived my 250HP tune

My friend installed it in his shed...was a good days work.
To complete the tune i upgrade the fuel system with fuel pump, reg and 525cc injectors.
To match the power i had upgraded the brakes and suspension. Found a 2nd had set of Tien for small compact Z27ag (Ralliart Colt).
Another little experiment i tried was the Jarcar Boost controller...when on WOT I was able to hold ~1.1bar boost
I made a relay to switch between stock ecu boost and the jaycar boost depending on if i was WOT or
not.
Below is my tune...Happy with the power so far...Now i need an LSD which I am researching. Future mods may include a bigger turbo once i kill the stock one!
