Suprises a few BIGGER bhp cars Carlo that's for sure, just look at the PROVEN figures it put in at Brunters when Tiff & Popeye had it all those years back..

for the stage 1 is it not standard engine yellows 4x4 standard cooler stage 3 t3 o44
the yellows can fuel the boost spike low down the revs

with the greens the fueling is for the stage 3 gunship i think

Matt leave the car as it is mate, less stress on the engine/ gearbox etc etc.

It's hard resisting more power I know, let the old girl stay as she is and just cruise mate and have the odd blast she will thank you for it.

Pluss with what's happened to me having that lorry just pull out on me anything can happen when your out and about.

Its either i buy a 500 or a cheap saff....or Gunship the 3dr to satisfy my needs which is miles cheaper than the first 2 options...it gets looked after and well abused has you have seen....It just need that bit more say 300ish mate i can have that without changing anything anyway.

not been in a gunship car but did have Karl live map my 3 door and was hugely impressed. To be fair it's prob all you need on the road and point to point may even be quicker than a laggy but hugely powerful car.

Gunships are awesome simple really... the mid range really does bring a big smile on your face and no need to rev em really really hard.

You also can't fault the NMS ethos and attention to detail.

Awesome conversion mate. My 3dr did bang on 300 bhp and 339 lb torque on greens with a 4x4 cooler and std t3. Now running hybrid t3 so had it mapped again so now peaks at 26psi and holds 21. Feels loads quicker but not had a power run. Very impressed with NMS must bed best smiles for money.

I had my old saff live mapped at nms, had 500 cooler, 55's, t35 on a fresh engine. It peaked 2 bar and held 1.9 bar, it was a beast lol.
Highly recommended.

It's worth every penny Mat & the good thing is you can always put the car back to standard without doing too many mods.
