WHAT DO YOU RECKON?
10-20bhp INCREASE IS IT WORTH IT?

i'd love to see a 20bhp increase from a inlet manifold change from a 1.2.
Save the £800 notes to put towards a new bigger car or an engine transplant.
Ask regal about power increases.

i spoke to regal about this manifold and this was what they had to say:-
This should only take one day and I currently have the parts in stock. The ecu is a software upgrade without physical chip change. Dbilas quote 18ps increase. However I would say 10 bhp if not more.

Chris

Not very easily unfortunately, mainly because of too many bloody electrical bits! The M-Tech 2.0T is running 2 ECU's to help get around some of the problems
