Gsi power mods anyone?

Hey guys i own a 94 Gsi n was hoping id get some ideas on how to get best powergains without spending too much cash. Ive got a K&N Pod with proper piping and heathield done already, planning to get an exhaust, about which i also have a question to ask. The standard Gsi exhaust is about 5mm under 2". I went to prolly the best exhaust workshop in adelaide n they suggested a 2" mandrell exhaust, as im looking for biggest improvements down low(as we all kno the power is pretty much non existant below 4grand), as well as a pretty quiet system. I kinda felt that 2" might b a lil small but they did seem like they knew what they were talking about. Is 2.25" a better option, coz i want biggest powergains, n if it means my cars gna b loud, well then it'll b loud.
Another thing, regarding the car's ECU, im planning to "Powerchip" it, but ive been hearing about the "Hondata" ECU system, anyone ever come across 1 n can give me any feedback?

NEONS!

In regards to the zorst, from personal experience owning a S13 Silvia with 2' comparing it to a mates with 2.25' there was very minimal performance difference. Although completely different cars, so probable completely irrelevant information.

go 2.25 how much is the exhaust going to cost? if around 800 i would reccommend getting a jap 60mm one either 2nd hand or new ones go for that as well.

I was also in the same situation of gaining some kw from my DC4 but pretty much gave up in the end.

Many people supported and kept telling me to "sell and buy a DC2/DC2-R". In the end I think I 'riced' my dc4 instead of going for performance gains lol.
Moral: encourage those attempting to gain some kw or they will turn rice =)

You live in Adalaide, forget about that Hondata or Powerchip bullshit, ProECU is the way to go :)

do they sell em at regular bottelos or what? haha
I frikken wish mate!

I had a GSi a couple of years ago...

I took it to the drags stock and managed a 15.6@88mph

after exhaust, 4-2-1 cheap header, 3inch SRI with k&n pod and SAFC2 best i ran was 15.1@90-91 mph
I had a set of crower 403s to go in it and a t3/4 setup aswell...

But i got my self a EG and stuck a B18c in it...
i reacon with the crowers and good tuner could have droped into mid 14s goin NA but i would have had to have got a better header and Skunk2 inlet manifold aswell...

Total all those NA mods up and its a more than just a few K???
Best way would have to strap the t3/4 to it and run 10 12 psi and would have been a quik car....

Moral of the story NA mods wont get u any quiker than a stock ITR maybe just a tad....

And for the cost of it all u might aswell go buy a ITR!!!!

So my motto for any one who wants to poor LOADS of $$$ into N/A mods for a GSI teg is BOOST IT OR LOOSE IT...

Sorry if i offended any one
