I'm at a bit of a cross roads with my tuning. 1.8 blacktop zetec running pretty much Stage 2. 145bhp, 127 ft.lbs of torque. 3 options:

1) Carry on N/A tuning
2) Get a blower
3) Get something with bigger bollocks

I love the sound of it now on the high lift cams it really does sound fabulous! N/A though is fuck all torque which is annoying. Turbo is by far the best option for gains but going to be costly for me to implement although I do fancy a DIY installation but haven't the time or resources to do one. Would be a proper NOOB job as well but first time for everything and I like getting my hands dirty. At the moment though, I doubt I'll spend much more on my car. Will keep building no claims touch wood and own an RS of some description in a year or two if Jap hasn't totally gotten under my skin
