A P-Torque remaps will give you more the 200 - 210 bhp ;)

I'd second MINIAC's post... Evolve Automotive come highly recommended too.

As for the death rattle... there are loads of great threads on here, just search the forum for "cold start rattle" - these two should get you started:

Regarding insurance - try Adrian Flux. They've covered my last 3-4 cars and I honestly cannot fault them. :)

Cheers fellas.
