Greetings :). I currently have a 04 MCS, its stock standard at the moment,but I'm looking to modify it. I don't want to do too much, I love it the way it is , and want to spend in the right places, so I figured that performance is the best option? In South Africa we have a company called Steves Auto Clinic (not sure if its international) . I want any opinions, whether you are a modder or just have a stock mcs, is The performance package (see pic) worth it for £480 ? *I've Converted the currency we use here to Euro's :)

Which package are you referring to ... 145 kW or 165 kW?

Unichip "tuning" is passe ... wouldn't waste the money on it. An ECU remap isn't really required when fitting a 15% supercharger reduction pully and colder spark plugs.

165kw.Actually I've contacted them since my post, and I agree with you about the Unichip. ill just add a 15% reduction pulley and colder spark plugs. That seems to be the most common tried and tested and so, probably best option. A 17% pulley seems like a much less reliable option. Thanks.
