Hi all,

New to this sort of thing, just recently bought an 03 standard I presume ST, as my mate has had a few and I kind have caught the ST bug, I wanted a nice low mileage clean example but for me I have been a little disappointed with the power and pick up (it feels a little sluggish) for my liking and I'm after the best possible advice to upgrade the performance but without spending shitloads.
I've seen quite a few mentions on here about dreamscience being a good choice, VVTPro or even Nodis? Like I said I'm not into changing everything just probably a few quick wins to smooth the power and bring it up as well, it felt a lot worse but I've just had the cambelt done and that has improved the feel of the car already.
There is also a splutter/ misfire at low revs 1500-2000 rpm, worse underload or gradients but I'm checking fuel filters first as i feel it is fuel starvation??

Any advice and suggestions are most welcome

Cheers Mark
