So, now that the cosmetics and handling of the car are complete - power becomes top of the list.
The plan is, and has always been, to bring the power up to around 360bhp with lots of torque, to provide that extra "you know who's the daddy" feeling
IMO the S2 is all about the 3-400 bhp range, any more and you ruin the low down surge of torque, less and you feel like your missing out.
I want the car to be capable of producing this kind of power without any real bottle necks and with everything running comfortably within its performance range. Ultimately i want a reliable porno looking car (which i have) that is capable of keeping up with those 911's.
Currently i have a pretty standard ABY, in terms of engine spec, homefried with a forge DV, bilsteins with H&R's, RS2 FARB, whiteline RARB, milltek turbo-back, samco's, 996's up front, some S4/S6 rear upgrade, re-built gearbox with new synchro's.
As for the new parts, im in love with the Wagner reverse IM and IC combination and to compliment this im thinking the Wagner EM also. An RS2 airbox, turbo and injectors should finish this off.
Im no mechanical wizard and rely on everyone else for my technical overview. My main questions are:
Comments and tips welcome - also, what have i missed or not thought about?
As for a timeframe, im in no rush as i love the car at the moment and am enjoying it after a lot of time and money having been pumped into it... that said id love to have this underway by the end of the 2009

- RS2 vs 3071 - i understand this costs a similar amount but provides more power?
- Should i install new rods for max torque and have the engine re-built whilst im at it, even at a cost of another £5k?
- Will the gearbox and clutch take the additional power?
- What about the fuel pump?
- Ive heard people mention the 7A and RS2 exhaust cams - are these necessary?
- Will the 2.75" milltek take almost 400bhp?
