Welcome.

Forget about remapping, there are limited option with limited gains.

If you want extra power, get an ITG panel air filter, if you want induction noise, get the ITG Maxogen induction kit, see here: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m3b0s9p0

I reckon an induction kit/filter and a decat will give you noticeable gains for the cheapest price, after that you could look at a cold air intake. Unfortunatley from then on it starts to get a bit expensive if you're after power.

I'll be doing larger headers and frontpipe but there's not a hell of a lot you can do before an engine conversion makes sense.

markj on here is in the process of supercharging his, so the results could prove interesting, but we'll let him be the guinea pig :wink:

How is your suspension sorted?

Throw up some pics when you get the chance

Or the best of both worlds, ITG induction kit with a CAI.
Without the CAI you'd probably end up with less power, allbeit with a nice noise as CJ says.

Yo Stevo welcome on-board .

CAI - known as Cold Aair Intake ( see the air feed pipe ) Image
Usually redirects cold air to the filter ( so that the after-market filter won't take all the warm air around the engine ) .

Uploading pics :
Sign up to an image hosting site such as http://www.imageshck.us , http://www.tinypic.com or http://www.photobucket.com , upload your pics there are copy the URL (link) of the picture and paste into the forum.
Where possible, 800 x 600 resolution should be used, the forum will truncate larger pics
Pictures uploaded for use as an avatar must be no larger than 10kb in size

happy posting
