essential matey.
.
.or you will compromise the cars ability to perform as you want it to when upping the boost.
.
.efficiency is of paramount importance if you want it to be safe.
With a free flowing exhaust, air filter and 1bar of boost.
.
.you could add another 30bhp from stock.
.
.don't be tempted to cheap out.
.
.it's important that you monitor the boost levels accurately.
eg- my avcr is set at 1.25bar high boost.
.
.I've seen it spike at 1.49bar!!! when the weather conditions were right and I was banging it a bit too hard chasing a much more powerfull car.
.
.
.my point being that not only will you gain a bit more power on a cool crisp evening, you can also drive harder than your usuall style when on the ragged edge.
.
.if your already pushing the power levels a bit by adding too much boost.
.
.POP!
lol.
.
.believe me, once you get a taste for a bit of power.
.
.it's all over man.
.
.you will deffo want more.
Consider the rev 3 conversion.
.
.you'll need.
rev3 ecu.
.
.
£50.
Map sensor.
.
.
£50ish.
AIT sensor.
.
.
£15
rev3 lambda.
.
.
£50.
This could be done for the price of an electronic boost controller.
.
.and still get a better IC as you've already planned.
.
.the car will be more efficient, powerfull and a better base to work from, another score would buy you a manual boost controller.
.
.to up it a wee bit more as the hunger takes over.
