I have a Barra 245T.. 2005 model running the stock single Garrett GT35/40r turbo. Conrods were the weak link until 06 where they beefed them up after a couple reports of people bending them.
I've kept mine stock as a rock as it's my daily drive and I don't have the coin to spare (not only tuning but also maintaining).. Relatively easy to get some decent figures with a fuel pump, injectors, valve springs, cat convertor, intercooler and a tune.. but most people then overlook the added wear and tear on the drivetrain. Especially if the tune is more on the aggressive side or the driver lacks mechanical sympathy.
I think if I were going to do one up, I'd probably look at buying HP tuners, throwing in a couple of sensors and tuning it myself. Shame they've stopped building the falcons here
