I think his post was meant to be sarcastic...

Ahh, i see (sort off).  :laugh:

APR Stage 3 GTX is around £6k for the kit IIRC.

Lets not mention the price... Just the power.

Anyway, back to the serious point in hand. Looks like it'll be a Stage 2 upgrade first (turbo back exhaust/sports cat, intake, intercooler, HPFP and map) and then a while after when funds and situation allows for it, engine out, strip down re-build with a K04 APR kit and forged internals. That route works out better than putting a Stage 2+ ED30 engine in instead of my current BWA engine I think. As long as in a few years I have 300bhp+ I'll be more than happy with it.
