Keep in mind that you wont be able to pass MOT with this setup unless you know someone that can pass it for you.
so i will give around 2000euros and just get 10whp??

What did you think was going to happen? Unless you boost the car there aren't big gains to be had. You can get a bit of midrange with a tune but peak not a whole lot.

you could just piggy back it with a VAFC since you just have simple boltons...save yourself some money doing it that way

any ecu is only as good as the end user designing the calibration. when looking for an ecu first pick the tuner and go with whatever it is they recommend.

i beg to differ. there is power to be gained everywhere. the easiest power to pick up is the mid range. a test pipe and a larger exhaust will expose those gains. the peak gains are more difficult to attain because that requires playing with the intake pipe. most if not all of the off the shelf intake pipes available on the market are too small. i was able to attain huge gains everywhere. i posted my findings here:

and as i posted in that thread, this is my car on the dyno bone stock versus bolt on's, e85 fuel and ecu tuning:



that's 38 whp peak and even more in the midrange. it's a world of a difference.
