Question Considering tuning..

I have an 03 MCS without any modifications, but I am really considering. I would really like to get a few extra HP, but don't know how this is done? Do I have to do any modifications with the engine, or is this done electronically? If so, where can I buy the tuning-kit? Will the change in HP be significantly and noticeable?

Thanks!

Berger, check out the GT Tuning web site(click below) for MCS conversion options. There is alot of info on the various parts of the conversions too (performance parts section),which should answer some of your questions.

I agree with what Max and Roland said.
It depends on your wants and your budget. Keep in mind any warranty issues as well.

I can speak from experience that once you get around 200 crank HP the car is quite different to drive.
Also consider handling improvements. They make a very nice difference as well
