thanks for advice "remove the precats".What are these?does it create noise?if i remove the precats do I have to do anything else or does removing the precats always add around 10hp.cheers Rsarin

can anyone suggest where i can get smaller pulley/larger intercooler and what upgrade for the fuelling.How much do u reckon this setup costs.Cheers Rsarin

when you say that i need to upgrade fuelling if I get a smaller pulley and larger intercooler can u explain,im not sure what that means geez,sorry im abit thick.cheers Rsarin

cheers for the welcome lads,ill be here to rack your brains on a daily basis.

all this info is great thanks,please let me know the guy in stoke's number if u have it or any contact for him.U have solved most of my troubles within 30 mins.the time you have given is much appreciated.Im left with £2050 after getting the S/C and the fitting.My objective is as much power as I can cram in,ideally 250hp but with as little noise as poss.Is this impossible to acheive?.Or instead of getting the S/C should I have gone and got a 5 grand turbo conversion at prolex.What do u reckon?

Ill take those anti roll bars straight away,are they ok to buy second hand?my money is on the table anyway.

If you need to be careful of noise, the don't go for the induction! It's loud! Think about an exhaust (5hp ish) and maybe a manifold. Change your sparkplugs to cooler ones while you are at it. Thanks Boss for quick response,can you suggest which plugs and exhaust to get?.Im sure regular LOC members like yourself have a clear idea of whats the best on the market.Unfortunately I really have not yet educated myself about the basics so apologising in advance for the amateur questions.What do you have on yours by the way?(if u dont mind me asking).cheers Rsarin

Thanks for the warm welcome Gentlemen very kind to respond so fast.Thanks for the offer Certainly will be using your expertise again.the adv about big brake kit makes sense,im sure the £s can be used for other improv/mods.I feel slightly lame for not being able to carry out any of the big jobs on the car myself as I have 0 mech experience and am surrounded with friends who claim to know everything, not a good combo of ppl to pop the hood and fit an S/c.Think I will get the TTE coiliover kit anyway,as you say its always nice. can you suggest a good place to purchase tried and tested anti role bars? cheers boss.Rsarin

Can anyone help please Im new to LOC and Ive just purchased a TTE S/C kit for my 2002 registered IS200SE(auto)Navigator and am looking for some advice.I want to increase my bhp to something around the 240-250 mark.I understand that you can add a TTE induction kit to the S/C to get a further 6-10bhp on top of the increase from the S/C.The only problem is that Im under slightly under the thumb I share the motor with my lady, and although she doesnt mind an increase in power,she wont accept any increase in noise and as I understand it the induction kit amps the sound of the car.Is there anything that I can do to increase power without making the car too loud?.I am also looking at the big brake kit and TTE coilover kit offered by Dave at Prolex(who has given me some very sound advice/great help).Do you think that the brake kit and coils are important or do you think there are other parts that can do the same or better job.can you please advice anything for the inc in BHP without the large amplification in noise by any chance or am I dreaming.By the way I also spoke to a Gent named Steve from glossop,hes fitting my S/C for me for £400 although its fairly expensive hes done 5/6 now and he seems to know what the crack is.At the moment my knowledge of the IS200 and its possibilities are non existent.Please be gentle with me.Also Will be happy to group buy any products just let me know when and where,my budget for the car is still fairly healthy.Cheers Rsarin
