Hi all im new to page and need some help as to what im looking into doing to my VY,

I've got a VY Berlina Ecotec daily driver stock as a rock looking at some mace bolts wanting more throttle response from the get go and a little more down low torque here is a list of what im thinking of doing :
Mace Manifold Insulator Spacer
Mace Plenum Spacer
Mace 69mm Throttle Body
Mace Tuned PCM (If able to get it website says its temporarily unavailable)
K&N Air Filter
Might consider 3.45 LSD and cat back exhaust system in the future also looking at lowering it too i like the standard 16 inch rims from factory but not sure if it would look silly if i were to lower it id go either king SL all around or SL front and SSL rear can get KYB shortened shocks and SL front and SSL rear for $750 dont want it ridiculously low

If anyone could share some light or opinions and feedback please that would be great thank you

Even though there will be a whole bunch of P platers that dissagree all those mods are useless.
Get a full exhaust a tune and a 3.7:1 diff.
After that you can look into trans mods and a supercharger if you end up wanting more.

If you young, the best mod is the bank mod, just keep throwing money at your bank account until you can vuy a better car than a 6 cylinder.

I tend to disagree, although I can't confirm how a VY V6 would behave with some basic boltons, I know I gained 30rwkw with basic boltons on my Buick.

Don't waste your money on that crap, buy a ss or turbo it or put a l67 in it.

Are you saying boltons won't help a VY V6? I would have thought even an Eco would go better with some basic mods, much like my Buick did with the upgrades.

been there when i was younger, done it all, in the end i wish i put a blower on it as was not much more than all the other crap i did to the engine and a blower would have made it go heaps harder.
