Then an EcuTek remap to make the most of them.

But if warranty is important, any of these mods will invalidate it. So then you get a Prodrive Power Pack (known as PPP on here) which is a slightly conservative version of all the above mods, retains your warranty and will give you a nice big slug of mid-range poke

Thanks

Already priced the PPP and its certainly not cheap at £1600. Airfilters,direct cold air,remapping are these things that can be done without a big cost and are they noticeable gains to be made or is it wasting money. Might have to wait another year before I do anything drastic that may effect the warranty like ecotek
