I'm thinking of doing a few mods to the S that will give me more power but want to keep it reliable as well as it being stock looking from the outside. I also dont want to do anything that will require switching things back at MOT time etc.

I'd ideally like the car to have something in the region of around 300-350hp coupled with more low end torque.

This isnt something I've ever done before so would want a professional performance tuner to handle; someone with a good reputation.

I'm based around the Leeds/Bradford area in West Yorkshire; Anyone on here have any suggestions.

I'd be wanting to use the car for track driving also so arent solely interested in straight line speed here.

 

My advice:

1) Get a SuperCharger
2) When in 6th a 2000rpm and you want more pull, change down few gears. This will give you more acceleration

 

Very difficult to get those gains without charging it. probably impossible.

 

OK; So; SC or Turbo? Pro's/Cons and general thoughts

and is there anyone in my area that has a good professional reputation or would I need to travel further to have this done.

What kind of power gains can be had from intake/exhaust type mods by comparison?

 

Just going on information picked up from other threads, SC'ing is the way to go.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's a readily available turbo produced for the right hand drive S, so it's very pricey.

Now, over to the experts....

 

TTS do the full conversion for 4800!!!! quite steep I say!!

Mase is developing a turbo kit for rhd. speak to phil.

Is a few on here now that are SC Esem is the latest i think main thing with SC is to get the mapping done right .

 

OK; Out of interest, by comparison what kind of gains can be had sticking with NA; Intake/Exhaust etc?

 

10 to 20 bhp max

 

SC is much easier than Turbo.
