Plus, 200ltr of race fuel, tools, 4 spare wheels & tyres etc etc etc. It pulls away strongly and has a very linear power delivery.

That is a very impressive engine bay.

Mind posting some of the specs.

I personally have never driven/ been in a BD car just read things about them.

I put in an EGR bypass kit and I would do it again but I can't honestly say that I felt any gain in driveability or power. I'd do it again because I can't see any sense in putting exhaust back into the engine.

HOWEVER, I've also got a Tombie2 re-map and the difference in performance was astounding to say the least !!!!!! I tow a trailer and I've gone from Mr Plod to Captain Lightfoot !

For my money, if you are looking for a step-change in performance you can't go past a re-map as a first step. Whatever improvement you get from doing other things will not compare.

[I've now also installed an EGT gauge which is essential once you've re-mapped no matter whose re-map it is.]

Thanks, what's a "BD car"??

Abridged verision of the specs - <1200kg, >400kw atw; 0-100 <3sec, 0-160 <5sec.

PM'd you the details.

i have been in a few subbie's inc a 22b

thanks rangieman, is there a particular brand/supplier you would recommend for the EGR bypass kit? That price seems really good for the hoses, is there a website for them?
