Love this car Ian,

Think a few peeps will get a surprise with what you've done with brakes and power.

RRight while you asked so nicely just been looking not got any pics from the next stage was wnt much to see any way So when I picked it up it was compleatly standard it lasted around 2 weeks like that! First mods wer a full miltek exhaust with a de cat and a k&n panel filter and a forge actuator with a fillerphil easy adjust running direct and a forge 007p recirc and a dpc stage 3+ map. The car made 295bhp with this set up and it pulled like a train! All set up by Johnfrs it lasted about a month before I got busy again this time I fitted some roose boost hoses and intake hose and recirc hose then after a conversation with Johnfrs I got johns next generation hybrid fitted up to be tested on my car to see how it performs before he started making them for others. pic of the new comp wheel in the back plate compared to the standard wheel! Got to say this is the single most best mod on the car utterly transformed the car! With the same set up above plus the hoses and hybrid the car made 320 bhp at the same boost as before too!
Few more pics of the turbo this is the big comp wheel in the standard housing then the standard wheel in the enlarged housing and here's a pic of the easy adjust not mine tho didn't get any pics of it this one is stickys also fitted a splitter too having a bit of trouble with kurbs tho! ill do another update tomorrow it's taking forever on my phone! Few pics of mine and Johnfrs' car to finish off
