The P1 in standard form is great fun, the mods that you detail won't do much at all on power gains IMO. you'd maybe make 278bhp! The 276bhp standard is a myth anyway.

I would spend my £1,000.00 on set of AP 6 pot brakes and discs, a decent panel filter and a decat centre pipe and good quality back box. Handling can be improved with a Anti lift kit, bigger rear ARB and solid rear drop links to dial out some of the understeer.
You won't get all that for a grand unless its second hand but gives the car better breathing, easy MOT passes and a bit better handling

Cheers
Rob

The P1 has a VF28? So just remapping will give over 300bhp with panel filter and exhaust swap.

I take it this is the same turbo that's on the V5 Type R?
