    Brakes & disks = Evo brembo brakes upgrade. Do a quick search on the forums for more info.
    Hard pipes = pay someone to do it or as above
    Wastegate = Your turbos already have one each.
    Exhaust = Search forums there is a good amount of discussions on different setups etc.

    someone correct me if i am wrong.

    Depends on what you want from your brakes and how much stick you will give them,

    you can stick with Standard VR4 Calipers and upgrade the Discs and pads (& Fluid) - These are the same as Evo 4&5 (non Brembo)

    Or you can upgrade the calipers themselves to the Brembos off the Evos, if yours is a pre-facelift then you will also need to replce the hub carriers for a set from a facelift VR4
    This will also mean that you will need bigger wheels to clear the calipers (17" off the evos)
    If you decide that you need this extra stopping power there is a full how to guide in the members area



    This group buy shows some prices and optons for standard and brembo disk and pads

    this is weird?

    mate! leave the brakes, pipes, ecu and wastegates alone!

    just get you a pod filter, anything that will fit it wont lose to much power.. and 3" exhaust. and be done with it already. why waste your money?

    if your building a race team with your money (you obviously cant pilot a race car) that will compete in a class then buy that list you started but include much much more... fuel system, stronger internals to cope.. but.... for a street car owned by a dis-abled... i wouldnt bother.

    If you want to experience such a thing, as you press the throttle start a whistling noise and then stop suddenly as car changes gear...

    Repeat as required during further periods of acceleration...

    If you really want loud turbos, block off the oil feeds.

    right i'm officially confused as fook!

    I get the brakes part i'm just gonna go for the evo 4/5 discks,pads & fluid. cheers horndog!

    Chris g why would i want evo 9 wheels? i'm after some nice deep dish alloys.

    Low_vr4 oggie mentioned the car has already got wastegates so what should i do just swop em? & get a BOV? what are these exhausts your talking about?

    VR4WGN what do you mean is this a hoax?

    illegal its not to compete i just want more bhp & noise!

    You currently have internal wastegates, what you want is external wastegates for each of the turbos. If you want to be EXTRA loud add screamer pipes and people will hear you miles away. Im guessing you have a stock blow off valve which im guessing makes little noise. If you can buy an aftermarket one like a tial or sard these ones are loud and you get the psssssssshhhhhhhh noise. Oh and fujitsubo is an exhaust brand from japan. They make in my opinion the nicest sounding exhausts with good performance too. Youtube fujitsubo and legnum vr4

    coney - There are different isues being raised in this thread and as we respond it seemd that you are confused...

    Re it being a hoax - I gues that some owners are struggling to understand why you want turbo noise to be louder...

    Like having fake exhausts or fake disc brakes - that is drifting into 'barry boys' territory... Check out ? barryboys.co.uk - 'if you can't take a joke don't drive one'

    pugme are you talking about lowering the car if so it would be an absolute nightmare for me to get in & out of the car!

    low_vr4 what does it involve replacing the wastgates is it a big job? do the screamer pipes replace the manifold? yeah the bov is standard i emailed blitz & they recommended this!

    That Blitz is replacement air filter...?

    Many owners would recommend a quality panel filter only, in std air box...

    Regarding BOV - the GFB (Go Fast Bits) BOV is considered a decent replacement but ask others - I never fitted an external BOV to any of my VR-4's
