JCW-next upgrade??

Hi,what would you recomend for my next upgrade? -currently have a GRS intercooler fitted to my 04 210 JCW,the cooler does not seem to get hot unlike the standard intercooler which got very hot to the touch.
This suggests i could up the boost,thinking of a 3 or 4 % oversize lightened crank pulley,might give another 10 bhp! Or should i go for a remap or a manifold like the GTT version(8-10 bhp).
Costs-Pulley £120
manifold £ 525
remap £180
All thoughts welcome:

ps looking forward to more details on Rolands(GTT) hybrid JCW/GTT Intake filter!

Hi Beatbox, results of the GTT/JCW filter upgrade are on that thread. Just need to add a couple of pics to it & a price!
Regards Roland GTT

beatbox I have a JCW 210 and I've just recently had the GTT Manifold fitted. I thoroughly recommend it! Sounds absolutely awesome with the Works exhaust and the performance gains are very impressive.

Thanks Andeh,so no problems with the GTT manifold,any fitting issues?
also note you have Goodyear eagles on your JCW alloys,how do you find those compared to the previous runflats?
My 18" runflats are scarey in the wet/damp!!

I've got a GRS intercooler on my JCW as well. I also have the MTH Tuner file, which makes a very noticable difference I would definitely recommend doing this.

Lohen fitted the manifold, its a little tricky to fit but i've had no problems with it at all.

The F1s are awesome tyres compared to the run-shats! Better grip in dry and wet less road noise and the ride isn't as harsh
