p1 tuning help
 

hello i have a totally standard p1 and was thining about a few mods for power gains nothing to extream , this is what i was thinking , walbro 255 fuel pump , stainless unequal headers stainless decat all heat wrapped and stainless center pipe wanna keep standard p1 back box , and top it off with a remap . what do all u very clever ppl think . what sort of power would i expect standard power is 277hp i think also can u give me any other ideas wanna spend about £1000 any help would be much apreciated:)

I would save a bit more if I were you matey, then consider some mods.

great advice as hindsight is a great thing

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 :D

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?

Yes I think so.

I am a mechanic and an mot tester I have 330 k sport brakes all round what would u recomend for some mods then under 2k all labour is free and I can get parts cheap wanna keep staanderd back box really thanks
