Advice on mods
« on: May 11, 2010, 08:33:28 pm »
Well.....I pick up my edition 30 on Sunday, currently sitting at 315-330 bhp with a giac remap, filter and Remus back box. I've been looking at a full blueflame system with downpipe and cat. Will I need to do anything else, eg HPFP?
Cheers Craig

I would think its sitting at around the 300bhp mark tbh with your mods.

As for hpfp depends how far you wanna go really stage 2+? (or gaic equivelent)

If so full blueflame tbe, hpfp, intake - gaic extreme+ needs 3"VF intake just so you know and an IC should see you to around 345-360ish :happy2:

Great value for money.  Like sy said there are lots on the market but can be £700+ such as the APR...

If your not (Yet! You'll Soon be bitten by the bug!  :laugh:) chasing big power the S3 will be great.

Jabbasport are using the S3 on thier Edition30 and is highly tuned  :happy2:
