Smile Advice please

Could any of you guys give me some advice as to the best way to spend my £300 Xmas bonus?
I am looking for more power!

Current Spec:-

MY99 UK turbo.
H&S decat downpipe.
Bailey Atmos Dump Valve.
K&N Induction Kit.
Scoobyworld Ninja Back box.

Other than these few mods the car is totally standard.

the obvious one is a re-map...

But you need another 300....

With 300 you could get an Electronic or Manual Boost Controller, Knocklink and boost gauge.

You can run the boost controller at about 16psi right up to the redline, and should notice a bit of a power increase.

KL is essential for monitoring det.

Having said that, you would be better off having a remap to ensure boost, fuelling and ignition timing are optimised.

Do you still have a decat centre section? (no mention in list).

This will make a slight improvement, although it won't be really noticeable IMO.

It will give you hassle at MOT time, unless you have a 'friendly' tester
