pound for power?

[jeffro]

de-cat?

cat back system?

matched inlets?

imo,

The car is so capable with standard power that the best mod I've done is uprating the brakes. It can stop so much later than before.

If your really after the feeling of a quicker car then weight saving is the least expensive. Rear seats out, light weight front seats and your there without being to hardcore about it. BHP/ton is the best figure to look at instead of peak power.

You gain very little for a lot of money with these engine,I've got matched inlets and the R3/V6 airbox and although peak power comes in earlier and holds flat roughly 800rpm it cost a new slim battery for under the seat, wiring the battery and the airbox set-up.

 

[Ed...]

No cheap mod will make it feel quicker mate.

if your wanting to go a bit faster, for about £5,000 you could get up to 372bhp apparently. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1726872.htm

I'm also wary of cars fitted boost controllers. Essentially, the turbo is turned right up and thrashed.

I guarantee you that car has been utterly abused, and the engine / turbo will not last any length of time.

You obviously don't know evo's! The only thing that go bang is there gearbox and clutch, The engine is bulletproof,

That depends how high you turn the boost up

 

[Gouldy]

There arnt any cheap mods that will give you loads of power.

Unless of course you search e bay for "electric super charger"

Alot of ponies to be gained there.
