Welcome

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

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.

thanks for all the info guys!! i have a couple of questions though what is a cai for the induction kit? and how do i upload some photos of my wee beaut on here? and to reply the suspension is just standard i think wasnt really gonna touch it to lower it did it before on a civic i had and it made it a bit bumpy!

Yo Stevo welcome on-board .

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