£500/600 would get everything with a brand new chip...

But you will need a breather kit for stage 3 and a rolling road tune

Look in parts for sale and get
Greens
3 bar mapp sensor
Breather kit
And a decent cooler

And get a new chip too suit and also check the fuel pump wiring and the voltage because they cause problems too

320bhp t3 and will drive really nice

I would consider a nms gunship either on std injectors or greens, add a 4x4 or rs500 cooler. If you go greens will need 3 bar map, both will give a good increase over stage 1 chip.

Greens,4x4 cooler,-34 actuator,grp A coil and a 3 bar map sensor is how they should of rolled off the production line imo.Perfectly drivable,reasonably good on fuel and well within the limits of what the engine will take.@ 22psi on the T3 it will be quick enough and then once used to that,change it all again

they were if im not mistaken,greens and different inlet manifold elbow then some suits said theres no way normal humans should be able to buy them, were 300BHP and told to de-tune, old wifes tale possibly but old articles on RSOC board somewhere


i wouldnt put any more boost and ignition on an unhealthy engine, do the usual compression test and oil pressure checks before you give it 60% more power lol

but yes, stage 3 is how a cossie should be, all day
