to all those who have bought headers, either through group buy or otherwise (or have ported them):

* which ones did u get?
* did u remap the ecu afterwards (if so did that make a difference too)?
* did they give a noticable real-world performance difference?
* have u put the car on the rollers.. if so, what's been the gains (if any)?
* was it worth the money?

just curious cheers!

After a bit of research I've gone for Gruppe-s headers, due to cost effectivness. Will get them fitted soon, but hope to see torque improvements

My link ECU will be fitted next month, so the remap should bring the best out the headers.

I ve got a set of powerstation headers - the way I thought it was if they are fitting them, they arnt going to make it hard for them selves so they must fit ok

hard to tell about performance I got 260bhp and 270lbs on powerstations roller ( with sports cat\decat and a ecu tec)powerstation rollers read lower than most

but you don't see many bugeyes with more lbs than bhp

Torque sounds excellent at PS from such a basic spec!!!

MY94 UK Turbo, Full decat, Blitz induction, Boost controller, Uprated fuel pump, Prodrive Ecu & Gruppe-s headers & up pipe.
R&R @ John Nobles prior to headers 275.5 Bhp & 269.8 Torque
Next R&R at Nobles on the 24th of this Month, Defo feels like it is pulling harder (Butt Dyno) & hangs on to the power until i hit the Rev limiter, Will post the results afterwards , hopefully good ones

Dean
Next plan, Front mount & then a Link Ecu (plus injectors maybe!!)
