Pretty much.. FMIC, DP/Sports Cat Turbo-Back System, TIP, CAI and 007P Recirc valve.
Very happy with the results, such a different car to drive!

H'excellent.
Yep turbo runs out of puff here.

He said turbo could have given a little bit more top end but the actuator is a little weak and couldn't hold the boost at the top of rev range.
He also said TIP wasn't the best for flow and a larger one would give a few more ponies. They've told me to get a larger bore one, go back and they will do a back to back test!

Yeah it feels fine when driving at bottom end of rev range. He introduced as part of his maps TiV (Torque Intervention) which (I think) basically eradicates the torque limited throughout the rev range. You can see it a bit in the 'old' map curves, wobbly up and down. Clever bloke indeed!

I would be happy with what you got. Wonder how a stage 1 and 2 fare back to back!I guess that (actuator) explains the top end dip.
Do you think you will fix it and fit the new pipe ? Maybe enough to go for 250 ?
He said its 6 of one and half dozen of the other, if I replaced actuator it would give a little more top end but I'd loose a bit mid range, tbh the mid range grunt is incredible, I don't think I'd want to sacrifice that for a bit extra at the top! When he saw actuator was weak he spent 2 hours working on mid range grunt instead.
Ill deffo get the new pipe, it would be interesting to see the difference between the current and a less restrictive one.
I actually want to take it to a RR day now too

Good results! Even on a bog standard Revo map my one felt pretty pokey.
Rear ARB, Remap and Exhaust (just for giving it some sound) really transformed my one when I had it. Would have been interesting to take it a bit further.

Very quick question:
Are your VRS's quite smoky? I certainly notice some puffs of exhaust when it's idling. White smoke though, not thick, dark smoke. I notice many more powerful cars with more exhaust smoke coming out the back than I did on my 1.4 VW Fox

If it's only on startup and goes away after a few minutes, condensation.
If it's running-away-from-the-bad-guys-smoke-plume-from-the-exhaust-hollywood-style it's usually the turbo going.
If it's black and then white, you've got a new pope.

RARB is on the list of things to do as well
If I had to pick one mod as my favourite it would be the R ARB.

Yes, do this. Whiteline ones are good, mines gone really rusty after a few years on, my advice if/when you get it is spray everything with a wax spray so all the fixings dont seize.

Just got a poly' dog-bone fitted to mine along with all the other poly' bushes. Feels nice and direct on the throttle with that and a remap. Steering is pretty direct with the Weitec suspension and 225 tyres.
The car is not without it's faults but it's pretty raw and nice to drive now.
I think I need a RARB next.
