Its 99% standard,so to be honest,im happy to keep it like it.and mabye go abit bufty on it

Had fun with my old RST,and my cossies,AND the 5,but dunno,see what happens when i start takin it apart...

You can get those wheels in both 15 & 16

For 16s you need 195/40/16

A little bit of arch cutting will be required

Nice example, would like to see what you do with it

Management wise depending if its an OFAC or OFAB ECU, it will be written on the ECU which is mounted up behind the glovebox.

OFAB allows you to run decent boost etc but not overly important if your not going to town on the engine.

The standard managment can be live mapped by Stu, and imo is fine. Its been used by lots of decent cars.

Biege injectors, bigger intercooler, T3 turbo and a custom MSD chip is a sensible, enjoyable and useable kind of power level imo
