Also, how much quicker does a 250bhp+ FRS feel over a standard one?

Thinking of going to at least stage one, but not going to waste the money if the difference is only marginal!

just a bluefin is a huge change, its how it should have been out of factory If you can go for bluefine, decat and a gen2 airfilter! transforms the car. then its better recirc valve, exhaust, manifold... boost controller etc.

As long as it's noticeably quicker I'm happy!

A lot of the lads including myself are running around the 280-300bhp mark and the difference between standard is enormous!

LOL will have to get mine done then, love the car, just think it could do with a bit more power!

Where abouts are you in Hemel mate? (pm me if you prefer) I'm always down that way; my mate lives up the road from Jarman park. I will have to keep an eye out for you - not seen another FRS since I got mine in Feb!
