to mod or not to mod
I've modified my car as components have needed to be replaced, exhaust and induction are always worth while upgrades and shouldn't cause you any problems, it all depends on what you want out of you car really, suspension and brakes could arguably prolong the life of your car in a sticky situation, boost upgrades ect will cause more wear on the engine/turbos/transmission but if you do them within the limits of the car and do them properly and follow duffers guide to ensure everything is okay first then you "should" be okay.

Boost Problems - Help Please
Check the electrical connections on the MAF and TPS, any chance you could have sucked some water into the MAF? i had similar problems (not sure about the boost though as i never hit 0psi) and cleaning up these connections and resetting the ECU cured them.

NZR Why so cheap?
Lots of land, lots of cheap products to build the houses and quick production times, mainly its land costs though, they dont have the overcrowding problems like we do around here.

Boost Problems - Help Please
