Hey guys just recently bought my astra turbo a couple of months ago. It's been fun the car is quite quick and most people have no clue when I thrash them so I love it. However, I looking at making more power. What are the best bang for buck mods I can get started on and where can they be purchased. I honestly don't know if anything has been done to it, there is a autotech engineering sticker located at the fuel cap saying its been tuned for 98 petrol. Thats as far as my knowledge goes for passed history. If anyone knows any extra about the car it would be appreciated.
Also I live in the Hurstville area in sydney so if anyone is interested in meeting up and shedding some knowledge on astra turbo's in general or if there are any meets I am very keen to learn more.

Welcome to the forum mate. Upping the power, might mean a new clutch, just keep that in mind. You should always run 98 in these car. Are there any upgrades done to the car already ? Can you take some pics of the engine bay, turbo, exhaust and intercooler ? Yur best buy next would be an eds-ipf so you can tune the car as upgrades come along.

G'day mate
Breathing mods is a good place to start then EDS IPF are great tuning devices

From the engine bay it looks like there might be an after market cold air intake but that might be all? Have no clue why one photo is upside down lol
the exhaust look stock. Also how do you know if you have the vxr turbo or the standard sri turbo?

Yeah I think so I'll take a closer look it was dark as you might tell. There is no error lights on the dash and its been riding very well.
What do you guys think of this short shifter http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Short-thr...item51b90d73b3
I know Mtech have one for around 200$ just want to know if anyone has tried this one or if it can be trusted.
