Then it was time to sort out some form of forced induction!! I searched for a while, scoured this forum since the day I got the car, trying to work out which direction to go.
Pretty much in Australia, you can't get a decent kit for under $6500 AUD (~$4700 USD) which put a lot of them out of my reach.

I was lucky enough that Sprintex themselves had a "second hand" 210 SPS kit on their shelf. It had been put on one of their cars during a demo day, dyno'd and done about 3km and taken off.
I know some of you skeptics will be like "nah it would have been used for more than that etc etc" but the kit was clean as a whistle. Came with all new fittings and if they hadn't have told me it was used, I probably wouldn't have noticed. I got that for hella cheap


Looking pretty in its box

There was a massive stuff around with tuning. To simplify, I wanted to go Flex Fuel even though the closest station is about 100km away. Although my previous tuner did an excellent job and I wanted him to do the tune again, I couldn't afford the tune at the time as the kit itself kinda broke the budget.
I bought Sprintex tuning unit which is a Powergate 3 unit. Same as OFT.
I had to buy BRZedit to remove the tune from my ECU that was done previously. Contact wavered with the tuner after I said I wasn't able to go with his tune until funds were up (and that's all on that matter)


Installation was easy as pie ft. friends


Looks neat as all heck


And this picture because I liked the look ft. front bumper and GTR in the background
