I want more power!

Right I want more power!

I also want to let out more of that V6 noise.

I don't want to move away from my 2.5 V6 as I have spent a lot of money on her and she is in very good condition.

I've got a 6 month old standard mid section on my exhaust so would there be any point in getting a stainless steel end section?

I spoke to Angel tuning at the Italian car day they said it would be £190 to get 16-18 BHP and the CPU was in the wrong place?

Have you found a thread that really helped you maintain your 166? Please PM me the link!

Re: I want more power!

Get rid of the big air box resonator to free up some horses and make more growl - easy job to replace with a diy straight through pipe after maf or go for expensive autodelta job!

An easy start for you

Re: I want more power!

You can gain 20 bhp with a remap. But only in combination with the wider intake runners of the 3.0 (plus the aluminium plate under the intake runners). Without that a remap isn't very effective as the 2.5 is a bit short of air to gain nice power.

Re: I want more power!

like he said, intake runners and the manifold plate with a remap. Squadra do a complete package I believe.

Dougie do you ever forget anything! Obviously My 19"s will slow me down too!

Thanks guys for the input. I will see what I can do.
