Has the kit already been upgraded with the air box, 380cc injectors and 210hp ECU remap?

docf · Aug 25th, 2007, 09:13 PM

it has the jcw engine upgrades.

GTT's answer would be :

GTT/JCW LEVEL 1 GTT Overdrive Alloy Crank Pulley + GTT Modified Bypass Valve + GTT/JCW Hybrid Induction Kit Upgrade +GTT Twin Bearing Idler Pulley +New Drivebelt + Custom ECU Re-Map Approx.+18 BHP £745+vat FITTED.
Comment...... "The torque increase you will love the from the first time you pull away!! & better belt life thanks to the GTT Twin Bearing Idler Pulley

But I think some of those items could be replaced with a decat manifold for performance, thats if you can stand the noise.

I'd get a manifold for certain

docf · Aug 27th, 2007, 07:43 PM

thanks for the advice but in which order should i go about doing the tuning? i dont want to do it all in one step.

thanks

I'd personally get manifold. It's not going to require any additional bits in order to be a safe upgrade. Plus It's going to benefit the mods already on there and sound good

which manifold would you recommend?sports cat?

pardonator · Aug 28th, 2007, 07:32 AM

Milltek, GTT or Janspeed.

If you go for the GTT you then have the removable sports cat as well
