Hi Lee,

What car do you have? What model year is it?

Rica 310bhp upgrade and oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh yes does it make a difference its been said many times by myself and others rica is a must for any t5 , i had the same car and upgrade and would gladly pay VT to do it again although they are a bit slow at making the tea lol always eating Mc donalds if i remember right!! :B_steerin

Like Mike says above it transforms the car, not just power though, it's more torquey as well and better on fuel!! This is the the first T5 i've had Rica'd, and pound for pound, it's by far the best value bhp per £.
You're not far from me, i'd be happy to take you for a blast in mine anytime.

Couple of words. Make sure you investigate the other options too before commiting yourself and there are some very good other options out there.

I would say go for the RICA.It not only gives more power but just smoothes out the power delivery as well and makes the car a load nicer to drive.Great value for money and as a lot of people will tell you worth every penny.
