T2..
i dont know how much they are,you can ring microtech and find out(i would say around $150-250...new).Or go to some sites like:
FULLBOOST,AUTOSPEED(ask in the for sale room what your after,you may get responses) or check trading post.
How did you get it running as you have it now?did it already come with a basic map?
Try to borrow if you know any1..

it may not be there tuning which sucks,
one of your limiting factors is the Seires 4 Turbo exhuast housing which is miles too small.

No im not talking about it making power, it makes plenty of power!
Im talking about hte only 200 Kms PER TANK and when i rev it a SHITLOAD of dark grey smoke comes and and how it burns my eyes when i go to the rear of the car!
THATS why i want to tune it, to lean it off some....
plus its cheaper than getting them to!

Ditto
If you never get on boost when driving you should be able to get more than that, Its peoples driving styles which eat gas.
You may need to lean out the area's between 1500rpm and 4000rpm which aren't in boost.

the difference between you mate with the rx3 and his 350+ hp and your engine is he doesn't have a stock S4 turbo clogging the hell outta his exhuast flow.

the factory turbo isn't refered to as the factory restrictor for nothing.

upgrade to a T04 and a better manifold before you rebuild and street port. it WILL give you the most HP boost of any thing you can simply bolt on.
