I was considering upgrades to the inlet side with Element Performance’s own fittings plus a Stage 1 remap, bumping it put to circa 200 bhp, but best leave it to you. It’s a great car as it is.
£5, 000 onoBought with my son to take to Cadwell, maybe the Nurburgring, but we are too preoccupied with a more tedious life. Time for someone else to pick up this particular sword.
