Right folks, I want more power out of the GSI its the 2.6 is 200bhp to much to ask, what sort of things would I be looking at, also would the downpipes off the 2.5 fit or are the different as everything seems to be for the 2.5 and not the 2.6

iirc the 2.6 is not as tuneable as 2.5 mate but i think it came from factory with 178ish bhp which should be pretty easy to improve on,lightened and balanced flywheel apparently makes s big diffo on these,perhaps not power increase but alot freer revving whichwould make it more responsive,bored out throttle bodies also,3 pipe mod in airbox with k&n or similar panel filter should realease some horses too,what about the 3.0 cams from omega do they not fit? Im sure it was basically down too these that the original gsi came with 195bhp from the factory,not sure about the benefits of sports cats,exhausts etc on naturally asperated cars,upgraded spark plugs and leads xhould improve spark and hence power output,ive also read about uprated fuel preassure regulators but tbh i dont know much about them hth a wee bit mate
