For a Gen3 NA, I'd stop @ intake, headers & exhaust. Cams, ecu etc is just not worth it.

I do know of a little trick the Japs do though, they put a spacer on the plenum (increasing its volume) & get a few extra ponnies. Not much, but that's cheap/easy to do. Stock ecu can handle all that.

yup 130,000 is just run in lol
mine has still got the original unopened motor AFAIK and almost 200k and a healthy ~185 psi across all cyl.

Gates - isn't yours an N/A though? should be higher than that :)

^no idea mate look in the BGB... but mine could be higher due to carbon etc. ;)

Gatesys SW20

That's what I thought 185 sounds high for a turbo
I thought they would be like 160ish
Guys were saying mine was a little high even

You don't happen to have a link to the bgb I don't have one on hand :(

Ill be joining the turbo club in a few months :))

Yup thats why it drives smooth off boost, but gotta keep a lid on the boost though :P
Sorry mate don't have the link as I D/L it years ago...
 
So you doing a turbo swap or trade in car?
 

^even better idea

there is an article on my web site about tuning 3SG's.
many of the power claims made by folk for simple changes, cannot be backed up with dyno tests. i have my own dyno so when i quote a value, it's based on fact
if you have to pay someone to do the work, then your choices will be goverened by your budget
any comprehensive rebuild of a 200000km old engine, with upgraded forged pistons, better cams etc will be $4k + for engine alone.  The price is much the same for NA or turbo engines, with NA slightly dearer due to special pistons needed
turbo swaps are only sensible if you have a half-cut. even then expect to pay someone around $2500 to do the job + half cut price
Fitting a later BEAMS 3SG is a great conversion , but again expect to pay around $3000 to do the job + half cut price
A drive-in drive out 2GR V6 converion is the ultimate
