Default Tuning help

Hi, i have a standard cosworth 3 door and was talking to Norris and im not sure what it is called but nothing is changed in the car, its just mapped i think and it gets it to around 300 Bhp with the standard injectors etc.

First of all what is this called, he had a name for it but i cant rememeber

And what do you's all think of this compared to stage 3 with the dark green's, 3 bar map sensor, chip and actuator?

Not sure which one to go for


Thanks

Its called a "gunship" conversion if its the one im thinking of (ive no idea why it has such a silly name either)

Works well but ultimately you are just getting half of what you get if you have greens and a remap instead (ie you get the midrange but not the top end)

Call NMS and clarify with them direct is your best bet though TBH

Cheers, cause the car is completly standard i was thinking about that conversion as the injectors stay the same so it will still look untouched.

it's definitely a good conversion and worth the money and means that you don't have to buy all of the other parts it's just that i fancied that little bit more

Get a set of greens and paint them yellow.

Best of both worlds
