Title: Ads Storm
Post by: AdamB on 15 October 2004, 10:56: Hey Guys.
Those of you at Newark, got to see my new toy, and some where told about my trip to AmD the following tuesday.
I got down there early on the morning and left the car to the capable hands of the AmD mechanics, for its Ram Air Induction kit, Milltek Exhuast and re-map. Whilst I was sat in the waiting room, I thought I would ask what would be the next stage of tuning they would recommend. After a few suggestions were made, I asked if they had anything in stock. I was told they had the larger throttle body in, so I thought I might as well have that fitted too.
So I am now the rather proud owner of a sweetly tuned Corrado VR6 Storm, running a over 200BHP on the rolling road. However, AmD also informed me that the engine is still quite tight, so I should expect an increase as it continues to run itself in.
So having gone down the "modding road of appearance", on the Cab. I have now been bitten by the "modding road of power" thanks to AmD and my Corrado.
Standby for further updates and tuning.

Go back and ask for a better tune.

Post by: Len on 15 October 2004, 11:25: But all i was saying it for was coz Billy's didnt have any throttle body work. Was about 3 years ago now so maybe they do things differently nowadays.
