Why not make the existing horses more available with some choice suspension upgrades Whiteline 22mm adjustable ARB and solid links at the rear are a must, allied with a good geometry set-up. Should be IRO £200 all in. Driver training I find reaps the biggest rewards I don't know what level you are at, but the last training session I did added over 30mph to my cornering speeds on flowing A-roads After that, if there's still more money available you might want to investigate some quality adjustable coilovers. I have AST's and they are awesome Budget £1k+

i think exhaust must be the biggest/ cheapest increase, followed by a re-map.

maybe you should look for a decent one, but because of the shifts the quiet good performers (if there are any)

Pretty good.....

It'll be a 3" to a 2.5" for starters.........then do away with the 2.5 "valve" and the fun will begin. Slight noise increase but get it re-mapped after.....

Thats what I want to know too. I've got a MY02 Bugeye and want to get a remap from xtreme scoobies but not sure if I should just de cat the downpipe or do the uppipe too. What BHP would I be looking at with up and downpipe decat and a ECUtek remap?

Theres a group buy on here at the moment and the 3" - 2.5" comes in at £210 fitted.....good price........good quality.

Depends.........not sure what the bhp increase would be on a scoob cause i'm testing that out next month but I know my mate got 30%ish on his rex with a decat downpipe and map.....

Got ya. Sorry miss read that. 15- 20 BHP isn't much. I thought you could get 260 - 280 BHP out of a decat and remap.
