For the sake of 10bhp I'd rather save £'s on fuel.
Going to try a decent CAI next, see if this alters the BHP and Economy, surely it's all about balance on these cars, they aren't Ferraris after all. :smiley:

I tried a CAI. ITG.. hated it and it lasted about 1 week before I swapped back.

OOps, just ordered a Volant CAI from the states, probably a lot quieter than an open air cone, will see :smiley:

I love my R-tech stage 1 custom map... my front tyres do not!!  :laugh:

I went to see Nick and co on Friday, again, had my water/methanol injection tuned into my car. The kit had already been excellently fitted and set up by Statllers in Sheffield, but wanted to go to my trusted tuner, ie. Nick, as i have done many times. In terms of peak figures, not a huge gain on the day, but probably down to hardware (or lack thereof). Note that i was already seeing/feeling gains because of the WMi, oh yes, and some little pops when foot is planted!!  :signLOL:
For those in any doubt, get WMi if you can, you will feel immediate gains, but get it properly tuned in, by the likes of Nick!! Met a number of other 'victims' on the day whilst i was there, all very knowledgable lads, and all wanting Nick to work his usual magic!! Everyone has only but good words to say about R Tech, his service is second to none as always, im just flabbergasted why people dont go there as matter of course for their tuning!! For some the journey there might be long, but worth every mile in my eyes, and the money you'd save on an R Tech map will more than pay for the petrol there i'm sure!!
Oh lastly, Nick also put a 12.5% stronger spring in my Rev G DV, don't know the full technical reasoning behind that to be honest, but yes, i could feel a smoother response when driving, although that could be psychological, lol!!  :evilgrin:
My car goes in every gear now and the straight line on the graph he gave me proves the car keeps it's power right up until 7000 rpm!!  :rolleye:

In Jeremy's infamous words, 'Get one of these!' - ie GO TO R TECH!!!!!

You finding the spring to make the car sharper and crisper between gear changes with less flutter??
