    Default Upping power. Where to get parts?

    Well lads, i've a skyline gtst, thinkin of goin big with power so wanna bring it up a bit. Want to get a few bits like a boost controller, full exhaust system (downpipe, decat, cat back), colder spark plugs and and an uprated fuel pump just to finish off stage one tuning. Saw in another thread that nissan doctor was saying ya should see up to 270bhp with these bits as well as what i have, fmic, apexi induction kit etc.

    Anyway my main questions are:

    What makes or brands are the best performing/longest lasting?
    Where is the best place to get them?
    Will it set me back a bomb? (aint exactly flush)
    Is it ok to use second hand parts?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading.

    Andrew.

    Edit: Would this help with low down power like sr20s have or are all rb20s crap below 4 or 5k rpm even with mods?

    Best mod is proper ecu system. On a gts t with STD turbo you don't need a boost controller.

    as robbie said, standard turbo dont need a boost controler...

    Well sure if i come across a boost controller handy i might aswell stick it in cos she'll eventually be gettin a bigger turbo, injectors, coilpacks etc so might as well have it for then.

    Right so, i want to see about 270 to 300bhp so if anyone has second hand suitable upgrade parts handy i'd be delighted!

    I was told by Stiv (supplies and maps Nistunes) that there is no point on standard turbo etc.
