    woweeeeeeeeeeeeee

    what a difference, even with 170k and a sick turbo

    nice to meet adam, hamish and the gang and to put a face to t5tart!
    hope you weren't too much longer mate

    had some fun on the way back, before and after the m25 that is

    if you haven't had it done, get up there and get it sorted, tesco 99 ain't that expensive !

    now for the brakes and suspension................

    just got ack what a day lol

    finally got it sorted
    damn air intake hose was collapsing under boost pressure
    lol
    well what a difference..i wouldnt say huge poerr gains but that still has to be tested too tired to test it properly
    but what i can say is that the power is far more useable and comes n more progressivly

    boost holds alot better
    and the best bit 25 mpg up there 30 on the way back driving pretty much the same

    yes, money well spent getting the RICA upgrade done. Averaged 32mpg on the way home so well pleased. thanks to Adam and the gang at Chip Tuning, they are very thorough in their craft and discovered a pin hole in my silencer which is a little bigger now so need a new middle section of exhaust and possible cat as it looks like it's on it's last legs.

    Nice to meet Abdul there, nice bloke, along with non member Gary, unless he's signed up since?

    ok i take back my comments its bloody fast now
    tried it out on a long stretch of (private) dual carriage way
    the power just keeps coming and coming lets just say at 5.5k rpm i backed off and the speedo needle was at the end of the numbers and still rising
    as for my earlier comment about doesnt seem to have much poer increase ...well i take it back whole heartedly its just so damn smoothnow it just doesnt seem fast but on roads i know driving them as i do every day corners are coming up far too quick

    i think its the difference with the power coming on strong mid range and the RICA progressive and constant power build up ... whatever it is it works for me
    hehehehe

    once again thanks to the lads at VT
