what order to do a rev 3 conversion?

[Dan88]

i have a rev 2 turbo, and want more power that is relatively cheap and easy to do (not after huge power gains). So ive decided on a rev 3 conversion.

Now the mods i have already are decat, nur spec, apexi filter, EBC, FCD, Rev 3 MLS Headgasket.

Am i right in thinking i need a CT20, rev 3 injectors (and rail?), rev 3 ecu, upgraded intercooler.

im going to do it progressively as i cannot afford it all at once, so what order can i do it in with the car still running ok? i was thinking:

1. CT20b
2. Intercooler
3. ECU
4. Injectors

If im miles off please let me know, also if ive missed anything

thanks in advance, Dan

rev 3 igniter, rev3 MAP and MAT sensors I think too.

dont bother going rev3 ecu conversion, go straight to an ems ecu, like link or powerFC.
(after the ct20b and IC upgrades)

note the powerFC will still require rev3 parts, so that would have to be done exactly the same time as the powerFC goes on.

When you guys say uprated IC, what can you get away with? I've tried to get hold of the Berk but its out of stock pretty much everywhere, that leaves the expensive Greddy and XS Power? (if we arent including a chargecooler/rogue)

Best order IMO is:

place current car on autotrader
sell car
buy rev3.

so much to do to update to a rev 3, if its to be done properly.

thats not an option, ive spent so long with this car and lots of money getting new HG done, water pump, cambelt etc, it seems a waste to sell my pride and joy and get another unknown 2 where i could have the same frustrating troubles again.

if its too hard to do i may just slap a ct20 and IC on and leave it at that, as said im not after huge power, just want a bit more than its got now

[Martian_333]

If I were you mate I'd go down the standalone ECU route, thats what I'm doing after asking this very question, but first I'm trying to replace most of the things that are/prone to/ going wrong, uprating components where I can

[Ren0W]

Maintaining the rev2 engine with the rev3 upgrades is one of the best options for huge power gains. Rite?


Most likely gonna be my next project.

managed to get all my bits to change from afm to speed density (rev3) for around £150 from different people, so if you can get the parts cheap enough, its a great mod to do. imo
