ah ok, ill probly get that fitted and a tune at the same time then. atleast ive got an idea now of how much im going to spend, think ill save a couple of grand on top of what i need for the car for mods, rekon ill manage to persuade my dad to let it go for 6K which if im not mistaken shud be a bargain!

yeah or the silver is nice, but he'll just take whatever colour he can get his hands on, aslong as they all sound the same he'll be happy :p

Wow that sounds good! Think i might book in with indigo later in the year! Do you know how much it wud cost for u to do fuel pump, boost controller and remap? The cars already got apexi intake cone, full decat and cat back and mapped to 320.

Do u think it wud be worth me doing the lower intercooler pipework beforehand?

Lower IC pipe as standard should be fine :) Was the previous remap an Ecutek?

lol do all tuners know each other then?
is that like some sort of reference to the map which makes it easier for you to know whats been done or somet?

You won't go wrong with Ant Rich. He's one of the best out there.
