Mods are :-

1) VSRF Catless downpipe
2) VSRF Intercooler
3) Burger Tuning’s (BMS) intake - metal
4) MHD tune using my previously purchased licence
5) One Dyno Run

250KW here I come, can't wait.

Will post the dyno results

Previous mods are :-
  • New plugs
  • Ultra white angel eye headlights
  • Black kidney grills
  • Carbon Fibre rear spoiler
    Metal Charge pipe
So ended up going 2 steps colder on the plugs and replaced the coils as well as I did not want to muck around going back to the shop with misfires and the like.

Initial thoughts using the bum Dyno is that it pulls a lot harder in all gears and top end is a little bit crazy now. Need a highway run to pull some WOTs to see how it performs in the higher rev range.

The burbles setting in the MHD flash is medium but not convinced I like it, I may disable.

The Burger intake really makes a difference to the sound of the car. You can here the turbo spool and blow off valves a lot clearer now. ....woooossshhhh !

The catless downpipes are stealth till you get to 80Kmh. Lay off the accelerator and it backfires so loudly you think the motor has blown. Dont know hot to fix this, maybe deleting the burble setting in the MHD flash will help. My wife is going to give me grief for this one.

Oil temp is now 20% cooler due to the 7.5" FMIC so hopefully this helps with engine life.

Will post the dyno once I get it.

Overall happy with the mods but time will tell.

Advan communicated really well and are a great team.
