Too easy...Revo (or similar) stage 1. Best ~£500 spent ever.

Remap is the best bang for buck. Do some research on some of the other tuners recommended on the forum  :happy2:

Pre-cat removal and an intake are cheap mods which will help even more. . .

A wealth of information on the forum. Happy hunting  :smiley:

Welcome on board.  :drinking:

Check out the Performance section on here and your questions will be answered. Get a stage 1 map and your off. After that, do some research as there's loads of options as to which way to go, what mods to add etc etc etc.

I also have it on good authority that an LSD (Wavetrac is going to be my choice) is the next best mod. Apparently you'll feel it every day if you drive that way and it works well with a mapped vehicle. S3 or R32 brakes are also worthwhile (or similar).  :happy2:
Oh and then there's the suspension....... :signLOL:

If you don't mind my asking why did you not just buy an edition 30? New CH's must be ££££'s, and on a Pirelli?
Each to his own though  :happy2:

What is the point and how do they add power?  :stupid:
As he said though - It's your car.
Good choice to start with a Pirelli!  :happy2:
