Welcome to the forum! Where about are you based?

Tips on ownership is simple look after the T5 (good quality fuel, oil and servicing) and the T5 will look after you and provide you with miles of smiles!!

Best tip it to start to work down the Stage 0 tune up to ensure that your T5 is in best condition. 225bhp is the stock figure. You might not be attaining that due to many factors. It might be worthwhile getting a calibrated boost gauge to ensure you are making the correct level of boost. Reading the knowledge base section is a worthwhile exercise. Bracer "aint frontin' homes"

Enjoy the ride
