yeah bog standard the Turbo's dont exactly leave you feeling liek your in a turbo car, once Nick and Ben give you a stage 1  :laugh: that all changes really shifts and got more pull through out the rev range, well worth while!!
i have been left wondering, if its worth just getting a remap, or saving my pennies and getting a ko3s first before hand?.

All depends what you want, if your lookign for bigger power in the long run then mabe gettign a ko3s would be worth while but the map itself will be the biggest change over changing the turbo you will be smiling trust me i was  :grin:
lol.
o.k, everybody seems happy with a remap.
looks like thats the next step i will take...
cheers..

just the remap and turbo will do for me for the time being. unless i can find a close to oem (looking and sounding) exhaust then i wont bother with a wooo shiney one..
i know miltek are a good brand but unless its quiet then i dont want it..
lets just say i want a wolf in sheeps clothing.
