I was wondering what is available after the PPP upgrade to increase the BHP of the car?

If you wanted more power than PPP you shouldn't have bothered with it as you will need to get a remap anyway so your best bet would have been ECU Tek.

The good thing is you now have a sports cat in the downpipe, back box and an uprated fuel pump so you are half way there.

I would suggest giving Scoobysport a call and they will be able to advise you best.

check the above Link,

if you want more pwer don't bother with PPP, but this all depends on what the warranty means to you,

ECU Tek 3 seems to be very popular, or MOTEC and Autronics depending how much you want to spend,

Straight through turbo back system, a lot of people seem to use a green panel filter, I have gone for the HKS RSK, which is a replacement induction kit, a BOV to spool up the turbo between gear changes, basicly this will get you to 340 - 350 BHP depending on the map and how much boost you want to run.

A BOV wont give you any more power, makes the car run richer in certain instances.

Im sorry HKS and Forge must have it wrong the above doesn't increase power but spools the turbo up decreasing drop off in gear changes fact !!

if it doesnt then you either have a leak or a knackered bov, either causing fluctuation on boost or making the car run lean, but the theory is to increase spool up on the turbo by allowing pressurised air in the turbine to be released.

if this wrong can some please explain in more detail what it does, as i have been led to beleive somthing completely different

I fitted a GFB dump valve a few days ago purely and simply for the ptsshhhh....

Now I have taken it back off for the 1,000 mile service and I can honestly say that the cars is more responsive with the standard re-circ item on. Most noticeable when pulling out of junctions at low revs don't ask me why but it is

Anyone wanna buy my brand new dump valve???
