WOW,

Had this done on Tuesday, i've done about 300 miles since then and it makes one heck of a difference.


better throttle response, huge improvment in mid range and no shunting when lifting off at high speed.


interestingly as well, due to the better and wider power band im actually shifting at slightly lower rpm 4k instead of 4250 as the rpm doesnt drop out of boost when changing up.

the acceleration is much much better.

the mpg seems to be increased straight away as well, i'll post more when i've had a full tank through it..


when je tested it they showed a 4 sec reducion in 0-60 time !!!!!!!!

and 10 mph on top end

its now a much nicer drive.


the conversion is a new ecu and bigger intercooler. the conversion took about 4 hours and looking under the bonnet nothing is obvious, unless you look hardx and see the shiney new intercooler..
