Re: Turbo Mods
Plugs, Dizzy, Leads, Oil and Filer would be at the top of my list - unless you have already changed them this year

What mods does it have at present? You could go for an induction kit
Or you could get a couple of tanks of optimax

Re: Turbo Mods
I have not done anything to it so far. Just wanted to buy something worthwhile while I've got the spare cash.
Think I should be wise and change oil, dizzy, plugs. However I want a new exhaust so might put it towards this. I want a deeper sound to come out of the car. It sounds great at the moment but I want more noise.

Re: Turbo Mods
Jonnos right but that list will cost you a bit more than £100. If you have only had it for a month, then if it has not got service history and you are confident to do the job yourself, I would give it a service. Oil change (£25), oil filter (£8), air filter (£14), fuel filter (£32) are immediate replacements. Then check other things over and prepare your list for next service or immediate requirements if need be - break pads, break fluid, coolant change (winter coming up), spark plugs, dizzy cap etc. The point is all of these things should be checked over before you go buying any new gizmos and once you are happy with the state of your 2 then start looking at the bling factor purchase. My 2p anyway.
