It is as important to get the car handling well as more power really.

I'd look at getting a downpipe and stage 2 along with some decent suspension  :happy2:

....I couldn't agree more! I did some of my suspension mods before I remapped. I also remapped my brain with some one-to-one performance car driving courses.  :happy2:

Robin, just a thought but you could have got +15bhp top end from the Twintake, and possibly lost a little at the bottom end. As you drive in the mid- top range it probably went unnoticed?

Would be interesting to see back to back dyno graph with the twin take if JKM still have it?

Cheers Robin, your back to back graph does show a drop at low revs and a huge gain in the mid- top  :happy2:
