Rich rev Tubby do you have?

A small Increase in Boost is Possible to net some extra power. Also usuals like Exhuast, and Decat or Downpipe help spool up and free some extra horses.

Decat, Exhuast and some Extra boost would keep you happy for a while

Get a Motec. Better in the long run and will everything you ever need.
Had a unichip once but was a false economy.

Just my 2p from having been through this.

Cheers,

i disagree with buy a motec, only buy that if in the future you plan on changing your injectors etc and to go for 350+bhp

unichip is great for people that don't want to spend 1k plus on a standalone engine management they don't want or need.

You will get alot of extra power just by fitting a MoTeC and nothing else!

yeah but it'll cost £1.5k!

a unchip costs £600, a couple of extra bhp for £900 - not a wise choice.

Is that how much them unichips are.......bloody hell, you can get a M4 for about £800 now.
I bet you can get a rev3 upto 300 fly with motec alone.
Why do people mess about with these crappy piggy backs [-(

errr..........
ask Xxxx!!!

piggy backs are great for their purpose.

dino can tell you all about motecs too.

but as has been said......................SPEED IS ADDICTIVE!!!!


if you plan on more and can afford it NOW, go motec

if you cant afford it now , then piggyback will do you grand till you can afford the extras.
