First part tis to check your insurance is good with mods, just a remap may increase your premium by 50% let alone anything else.
Also the basics for these cars are the highest ron fuel plus octane booster, ie shell v power plus octane booster for instance, they are designed to run 100-102 ron fuel, most of our super unleaded is 97, running lower ron fuel can lead to engine damage on these imports, and adding a dv wont help.

is t safe to put i dump on though?
i run optimax on it regardless the conrods and crank are being replaced now b4 i gt me car bk coz wen i bought it day after heard a ticking noise, took it too scooby dealer then to the garage i bought it from, we negotiated it and they are payin for all work needed to be done!
remapp is around 600
will air filter do anythin and will i hear recirculating dv through air filter?
will dv damage car?
i guess its the token "Pish" tht im wanting!

The air filter will give you more induction noise, the dv does naff all though it can cause a lean spot which isnt a good idea.
If you want a nice sound, full decat with a remap, dont do it without though as that will cost you another 3-4k for an engine rebuild....
