Turbo Back Milltek
« on: 14 November 2008, 11:55 »
Hi All,

Ok I have had Revo Stage 1 for the last few months and absoultly love it, cant get enough of it!

Now the question is do I go for the Milltek Turbo Back? I think I can get a good deal in the current climate but is it really going to make a difference to the preformance? Is it worth spending around £800? Has anyone gone from Revo Stage 1 to a turbo back system? Is it worth it?

....

I had the Milltek TBE (Hi-flow Sports Cat + Downpipe) from the very start. At about 23,000 miles I went from stock to Revo Stage1 and more recently to Stage2.

The Revo1 unlocks the benefits of what is a performance exhaust, but Revo2 does so even more (so I believe).

Your performance will also benefit from a better air filter.

Beware!! Modding is a very slippery slope!!

Full system should let the turbo breathe better so giving you the extra legs at top end of the rev range.

I think the TBE makes a big difference in the region of 15bhp in my experience, on my last 3 cars :smiley:

£800 sounds like a great deal!

No question....DO IT!!! :)

Throttle response will be improved, the car will die out less in the high revs, and a soundtrack worthy of symphonies!

1. YES

2. YES

3. YES

I've got a resonated cat back at the moment, and thinking of going for the turbo cat to go with it. Does adding the rest of the system make any difference to the noise at all. Anyone done it in stages?
