The brakes are standard due for upgrade though , uprated and lowered suspension though with adjustable rebound.

Either a dawes, an electronic boost/fuel controller or an ECU map may be a good plan to get the most out of your existing breathing mods.

You may want to search using the search tool for threads on 'dawes' or 'ECU' for more info.

Enjoy

Get the brakes done next would be my advice. Leave the power increase till last. Better safe than sorry.

Dawes, Dawes, Dawes.....only about £40-odd and what a rush for the money !!!

You'll still have cash for the brakes.

Or look up the DIY ECU thread on here...they should be able to sort you with more boost and an optimal fuel map for your breathing mods.

You CAN just slap a dawes on and hope for the best and it will PROBABLY be okay. But accepted wisdom says your engine will be happier with the right fuel map and you can specify the parameters you liek then (i.e. slow spool up with a big kick.....faster spool up but no kick....etc etc).

Most people go for the dawes option, then get re-mapped and a lot of them say they wish they had done it first.

The DIY ECU boys are pretty cheap..er...competitive, I believe!

I haven't tried it yet so I don't know.
