Question

Just wondering. I've got a standard Turbo and would refer to upgrade the Torque and not the BHP (I realise they go hand in hand to a certain extent). ANyone know of any mods and more importantly, how much they are?

Talking

Depends on how much you want to spend. The mod that focus's on torque is the prodrive performance pack. This can be brought through your dealer and costs in the region of 1600-1800 quid.

Bhp goes up to 140ish and torque to 257 ish.
For your money and depending on model year(see the FAQ at

Speak to Andy Tang he will be able to advise... a thought from me would be the Link.


For more low down torque try a downpipe. Not to big mind, as that will increase the BHP more than the torque.

Tang's the man to talk to.

Andrew, no! Isn't it quick enough?

Seriously, the PPP is for UK cars and makes the car far, far quicker at the bottom end (quicker than an STi, in fact) but the STi still retains 30-plus bhp extra at the top.

If you really want more power, Bob Rawle will find you some.

OK, but who's Bob Rawle? How do I contact him? And Andy Tang for that matter too.
