I spoke to derv doctor and was given the same price but also they mentioned at phase 5, 265bhp but there was no price for that on the email just said quoted on asking

I got that in the email, its bound to be very expensive

Indeed think a phase 4 is more likely on the cards Phase 5 maybe a step to far for my bank account lol

I'm about to go hybrid myself and so I can give a pretty accurate brake down of the costs involved..

Now I think it's unfair to include cost that aren't specifically for the hybrid upgrade.  Most people with a remapped 130 or 150 will (or should) have already sorted their brakes, panel filter and de-cat just to be able to get the best out of the standard turbo.  Also as many people find out, the standard clutch doesn't last too long on a strong remap so you'd be changing it sooner or later anyway..

If your a 150 owner you don't need a new FMIC, but probably some upgraded pipework.

Mines a 130 so here's my breakdown...

Stage 2 Turbo Conversion at Turbo Dynamics £525
Forge FMIC (inc pipework) £440
Sachs Performance Clutch £660 (I don't think this is even a hybrid specific cost)
Remap £200-£350
Bits and pieces (replacement oil feed pipe, gaskets, oil change etc..) £100

Total Cost = £2320 inc Vat  (If you own a 150 and have already done your clutch then it's as low as £1300!)

Results = 230-250bhp & 350-400+lbft 

So for me coming from a 130bhp car, I'll have got a 92% increase in power

I'd say a bargin compared to what sort of gains you'd get from a lot of other cars for the same investment.  Oh and I'll still be getting 50mpg when I want to...
