I would be wary of anything what says you can boost to over a billion psi.

with just a filter a zorst i would go to 14psi and no more should be running 175bhp but you will need to get it set up unless you want your engine in pieces

No, you wont have to mod the fuel on the kind of setup your after. Personally i would ditch the filter and put the standard airbox on then take yourself to a good tuner and have the car setup as standard and see if its up to the job.

If so stick the chip in, upgrade the intercooler and run about 13psi of boost. With a good setup your fuel will be fine but expect between 160-170bhp depending on engine health.

not being funny mate but why would you bid for that, the guys description is very vague, doesnt say what make of chip is in it, doesnt even show you a picture of the chip, just a photo of the closed ecu

i think you may have just been had

I emailed that guy and asked him what chip it had in it and got no reply so the first thing i would do when you get it is open it up and have a look if it has got an uprated chip in it.

same with me mate, i sent him an e-mail the day it was endin to say what garantee do i have that it has been chipped with an unlimited chip and what chip is it , but never got a reply.


I will wait for him to ask for my payment and then i know he will be on line and then i will ask him the details i need.

my engine is still out my car so its not like i am in a rush for it, the lads feedback is good as well, im very optimistic about things like this and they normally turn out fine
