with boost controllers. Its all down to budget, underbonnet values are cheap as chips, a freind just got one on ebay for a tenner. Or in-car controllers these are alot better and more accurate way of doing it, and alot of the new stuff has self learn modes and all sorts of trick stuff, thats the way i went. Theres the apexi avcr a know a lot of people that use it and say its great, ive got a hks evc5 which i think is great so basically its gonna be down to money your looking between £250 anywhere upto £700. I got my hks one off ebay for £300 which i was happy with so like i say its all down to your budget.

The car's got a decent alarm thankfully. So that's all good.

The manual boost controller is only for just now. In the future I'll be looking for a EBC.

I'm gonna get as much as I can from the car just now, then probably go for larger turbo/fuelling and aftermarket ecu such as unichip, power fc, emanage etc

No point in making the car go faster if the brakes are not up to the job.

They don’t work very well on standard boost never mind 1 bar :shock:

yeah they ARE!! I nearly ran into the back of someone 5mins ago. The car has stupid hard pads on them that obviously need warmed up. They barely even worked! SHAT myself! lol

I totaly agree, first thing I did was better brakes the standard brakes are terrible.
I run Willwoods with 310mm discs under 16ins wheels and they are 100% better than the original units.
