would need a new one as they are so different..

803s t34 L8 non closed loop is Ł150 add Ł100 if you want closed loop

55s t34 is Ł250, again add Ł100 for closed loop,

both come with full instructions

4x 55s are Ł250

dont forget you can sell on your old greens and chip for reasonable money on ebay

you'll need to know what exhaust housing you've got on your t34 when ordering the new chip too

for pricing and use, just assume 55s are the same as greys as the flow rates are very similar, no problem using greys at all.


yes it would need an 044, and make 380+ bhp on a std engine

In my experience, a new chip would depend what its running now!!

I went from a standard car straight to stage2 but with RS500 cooler, so the chip done stage3 when i fitted the T34.
If i only went stage1, i "would" have needed a new chip for stage2/3.

NOT 100% IF ALL TUNERS ARE THE SAME THO..

As for the boost hose, agree with the above. 48, 55 or 63 housing should be able to re-use the hose. Sure 48 housing is same as T3, but should be able to get it round a 63.
If not, Roose do single hoses for Ł40ish.

it was the 420 lb/ft from the .48 that did it

my last std box broke at 40mph in fifth gear,after coasting off the motorway, didnt change down, bit of throttle and BANG

time for a bara box
