Hi all
Basically ive got £1400 to spend
At the moment ive got a ninja backbox and a de-cat centre section
so a re-map is £650 = 275bhp
or
Full miltek 3" front to back £1400 = 290bhp
So is it really worth £750 more for 15bhp
would a decat then a map be just as good? ? ?
as ive also been looking at the suspension upgrade from powerstion £750
So i could have suspension and more bhp for £1400
instead of just the upgrade
Help me out guys
Cheers
tom

Ok, here are is my tuppence worth :
Ninja front pipe from Scoobyworld - £300
Remap - £600 is what I paid
Not sure if your car is a 2. or a 2.5 ? On a 2.0 you'll get about 280 bhp on those mods.
-Then you have spare cash for :
Whiteline anti-roll bar and steel droplinks to cut down the understeer £140
Prodrive Springs and Prodrive geometry settings, done by your local dealer - £450
Pagid or Ferodo front pads £145 from AS Performance.
OR you might want to get the PPP package from your dealer and adds the springs at the same time - not as good value for money on purchase, but should be better for resale value when you come to sell the car.

I think 3" is overkill for that power level. It will just be noisier and not make any difference over 2.5" (as far as I know).
I'd go for decat up-pipe, sports cat down pipe and replace the centre section if you still have the standard one so that you are running with one cat and 2.5" all the way.
Further, you could go for a panel filter of some sort (e.g. a K&N one etc). That and a remap should set you back about a grand, and then spend the rest on suspension![Smile](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
All IMO, and I'm just an armchair tuner
