Dude,

Just check the forum a little......... Bolt-on's for the K8 are largely useless, unless you are willing to spend mega$$$$.

For about £2000 you can get a KLZE which will give you more power than you will ever need.

as for BPT...I dunno, heard they are good...but going from a 6pot to a 4pot is a lot of work, so dont bother.

Im sure you will find all the info you want of you look around for a while

6pot to 4pot, didn`t know he was talking about brakes :D

V6 to 4-cylinder is massive job, and would probably be insanely expensive.

Also, you an get a klze from below $1000 on Ebay.

Other bolt-ons,

-upper strut tower bars (front and rear) will help the suspention.
-cold air intake is a lot better than the stock one (PRN makes a bolt-on, otherwise get tubing and a K&N filter.
-brake pads and rotors are easy ones too.
-muffler/exhaust/headers are doable, but you want a shop to do the custom piping for you.
-urethane motor mounts (but would have to pull the engine first)
-shaved flywheel (from Unothodox racing. Some issues with idle though)
-underdrive pulley (from UR again)
-MX-6 tranny (slightly taller final gear ratio)

and of course, KLJE, KLZE, KLDE

No there the same, the only difference is the final gear is abit longer, better for highway driving. You wont notice that much of the diff.
