    As I said on your other thread, get yourself a T5 and map that. It's gonna cost a bit more in fuel, insurance etc but will be worth every penny when you destroy an Msport down a sliproad

    The 2.4 T5 is the strongest engine for big power but you'll be in the realms of ME7 engine mis-management and thats a pain. If its a T5 and has a distributer cap, you're larfin

    No - i've not seen it but for that price you are hardly likely to be out of pocket.
