Who did you use?

Hissy:
Hi Gordon  :)  :)  :)

I went to Alisport
I had the big intercooler with silicone hoses and some ali pipework as they removed the EGR.
They also removed the catalytic converter and fitted a straight through
pipe
While they were at it they tweaked the Turbo and Fuel pump
I'm not sure what difference it's all made to fuel economy, as i tend to use the extra GET UP AND GO to the max :shock:  :shock:  :shock:
The only problem now is that due to the need for a replacement transfer box, i,m wondering if with the extra grunt she'll pull taller gearing  :?:  :?:  :?:
Can't remember exactly but i think Alisport's bill was about £540  :?:  :?:  :?:

Cheers Andy

Jake:
Thats not to expensive, considering the work

Hissy
Do you notice loads of difference?
I mean, was it worth every penny?

£540 is savable for lots of love and attention from the Alisports boys!
Must start saving......NOW!
 :D

Hissy:
Jake

There didn't seam to be any more top speed. Thats why i'm wondering about different gearing(if anyone knows)

BUT :!:  :!:  :!:  :!:  :!:  :!:
 It gets where it's going like a scolded cat  :(bloodshot):  :(bloodshot):  :(bigwicked):  :(bigwicked):  :(bigwicked):

Hills don't need so many down changes and where previously i'd be running out of steam, i'm now still accelerating :(biglaugh):  :(biggrin):

The only down side is some extra smoke

Hope this helps

Andy

Jake:
Its does
Thanks
 :D
