Remap is all you need to get it to 130bhp

If you think your insurance is a killer wait until you tell them about your remap.............

Remap will be cheaper and more easier.  Rack up your NCB's then go and buy a faster car again :afro:

Not worth fitting to a standard or Stage 1 mapped car IMO

Save your money for your next motor  :smiley:

Easy 135bhp.  Think the most you'll see is 140ish but that's probably pushing the turbo a little too hard.

It will be a noticeable difference!
