Outside of that, fitting the zorst and the intake box should change the character of the engine a fair bit. Should be much sweeter, revvy than before compared to what I'd expect from just a straight remap. The intercooler as TT said, is just there to disippate heat, bigger the better if repeated abuse is the order of the day. ;)

....More responsive, yes. But the revs didn't feel noticeably freer until I fitted the Neuspeed Discharge and Charge pipes and SAMCO turbo hoses.

Link?

But your mods are they Oettinger?

The extra bhp will translate more to top speed increase rather than in gear times if the torque doesn't increase much between the 300bhp and the 330bhp mods.

....Am I right in thinking that an increase in bhp but keeping the torque limited, will translate to more 'pull' at the higher speeds rather than an increase in the maximum top mph ?

No.  Increasing BHP will increase v-max (top speed).  Increasing torque (but keeping max bhp the same) will keep the same v-max, but allow you to reach v-max in a shorter period.

Torque is simply a turning "force", whereas bhp/hp/PS/kW are merely a measurement of power, or work.  If you have a greater torque figure, then you are turning a shaft "harder", which means greater (better) acceleration.  :nerd:

....Link to what? [I'm confused]

No, my intake is Carbonio and each of my mods are independent. The whole car has not been modded by just one supplier such as Oettinger who do offer a variety of mods as one package.
