    Next stage of tune?

    So I'm currently running a Jetex cat back, big Green cone filter and a 304 map, it's fantastic to drive and there's not an awful lot around my way that'll keep up, but as ever, the thirst for more power is never far away.

    What's my next options? Is it going going to start getting expensive with internal changes now?
    Any advice welcome.

    Ben.

    And what sort of numbers will that produce? Will it need another map to suit? I'd imagine the standard injectors will be out of puff by by that point too.

    i believe HLM may still have a map/file for a 19t, if you speak to them they'll tell you want injectors its mapped for

    Cheers chaps. On the subject of intercoolers, do I need to look at upgrading soon? I know the standard ones are fairly efficient.

    I noticed a big difference changing the intercooler when running a 19t @ 18psi, I think the standard one isn't efficient at these levels

    Rip kit will improve throttle response & make it feel quicker.

    Agreed both of those mods made a massive difference with my old bus.
    I've got a few things to do to my new ride over the next few years & glad I had the learning curve that was the bullion. Lol

    For a used one personally I wouldn't pay over £200-£250 as if it does smoke its a fair chunk for a full proper rebuild and a good place
