It’s a slippery slope, once you start you don’t stop 🙂 I’m in a similar situation except for having fpm375 and cat back exhaust, I like bang for buck packages personally or recreating that by buying individual parts but the real question you have to ask, if it goes bang will you cry or look at it as an opportunity to go further?

if you want bang for buck on standard car talk to sabre tuning. Having spoken to Leighton I think it was before xmas and what they pulling from standard car and safely is amazing, under 1000 pounds and be best mod you could ever buy, think you might need fmp375 spec as minimum tho but don’t know as did not ask as already have it.

ultimately it’s the route I’ll go once at stage 2  or beyond. But for now thinking of just going Revo 2 off the shelf as can be done very local to me and running that till next year once traveling across country can be made into a weekend away.

Just make it what you want, and what you use it for… Ive just dropped a pile of cash on the next stage for mine, i do enjoy the process and not just the end result.. I don’t worry about he future valve or anything as its purely a toy to enjoy… Only one rule tho, any cash spent on it should be limited to disposable cash… as you will not get it back…. Cant wait to joint the #500+ club

The priceless bit for me has been finding guys that have done it, learning from their mistakes and listening to their info…. 👌🏻👍

To get all the Stage2 kit to do it properly and power to say 430/450bhp you’ll need an exhaust even if you don’t want to

And a wallet with around “£10k spare” to do it.

£3.5k – £5k Engine build, plus ARP’s, Deck Brace etc, etc.

£1.5k Callies crank (lightweight) and dowelled pulley.

Custom mapping and a Cobb £1k

Exhaust £1500

Sports Cat £750

CAI, Intercooler all piping cold and hot inlet manifold, inlet spacer AUX fuel, additional injectors.Methanol injection or NOS injection £6k

Then add a slightly bigger turbo for 520 – 600bhp £3.5k

PS

Bin the DS handset and get something proper 👍

RS Edition.

FPM375 Rocks

The rest of the “M” maps suck

Modding is a sickness.

I told myself I won’t mod the RS as my last 3 cars before that.

It started with a key fob sleeve, exhaust and recirc valve that I got finance with my car.

I’m way too into it now, as one of member said run away from the mod train.

As above, when looking before xmas at the options someone recommended Sabre and hyper-tune to me for custom maps and after speaking to them I can’t agree more that for what I was quoted you won’t get a better outcome, once my upgrades are at a certain point and outgrown OTS map it’s where I’ll be going but for anyone who don’t want to mod to far it’s probably the most economical route for best results. Just a shame sabre a proper day out for me so not likely to happen this year thus why for me it’s a longer plan and a journey of discovery
