welcome along buddy.... you got the parts right for what is needed!!!

 

[B6lee]

Standard parts required will be walbro 255l fuel pump.
A true 3" exhaust, De-cat, good boost controler and a reMap I expect will see you close to what you want

 

[gooner8]

hello and welcome buddy. Like said above you want have to do much to get to the power you want.

 

[fq-craigus]

welcome along

 

[Fifi]

Howdy! x

 

[mr.jiggs]

thnks people last question i called a garage mg autos got the details through scooby clinic they recomended the garage spoke to the chap and he said hell get me 380bhp just by a decat pipe, fuel pump and a map cause i already got a boost controller in the car is that possible bearing in mind my car got 2.5inch exhaust and is the power gona be reliable

 

[m7gsr]

It is possible, but you're better off getting a 3inch exhaust to get the max power. I don't know mg autos but personally, I'd get in touch with one of the mappers here. They deal with evos all the time so would be a safer option. Where are you located? It will make it easier to point you in the right direction

 

[evoaps]

Welcome mate as said I would only let someone who knows the ins and outs of Evos work on my car most mechanics haven't a clue

 

[mr.jiggs]

located in oxford

Welcome

 

[foxy lady x]

hiya and welcome along

 

[mr.jiggs]

ive just realised some people use ecu flash to map the car and others use motech and other diferent types of software whats the diference which is the best 1 to go with??????????? hello every 1 ive been trying to get the car power upgrade but the more i go into it the more confused i get i mean first there were the bolt ons like exhaust and fuel pump and stuff and now the mapping. plus it costs so much i mean i was looking at the prices of the parts and the miltek exhaust on ebay for 710pounds the walbro fuel pump 70pounds then you got the air induction kit 140pounds but when you get quotes off companies the prices go up is it hard to bolt on a fuel pump and exhaust how much should it cost to do all the work. would i be better off geting the bolt ons put on at a private garage im sure you guys have done this what shall i do????????????

 

[mr.jiggs]

can any 1 recomend sumwhere to do the work not too expensive how much should i pay thanks

 

[B6lee]

Some traders like indigo-Gt offer packages with the bolt ons and the mapping so you could try sending Antony@indigo-gt on here a pm and tell him what you got and what power you want and I'm sure he could come up with a good deal for you

 

[ElDopesta]

Hi buddy and welcome along!!!

As stated before, you will benefit by changing the exhaust to a true 3" system before you go any further.

There are quite a few members resident here and you will save a fair amount of money if you decide to utilise their skills

What mods do you have in place already???

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR USER PROFILE TO INCLUDE YOUR LOCATION.
