My car is going to be a track day car. But i use it day to day at the mo.
I'm wanting to finish the mods at just over 150 bhp (i know neither will get me there on their own).
So which one?

£460.21 or £740 with software
or

£1070
Cheers for any info.
Oh and wanting to fit one of these,

1st - forget the flow master, waste of money
depends on what you what from the car really
powerbox if you want cheap (ish) power - all at high revs
or throttle bodies for more low down torque - perfect for every day driving

If so to which one?
Thanks again.

the std clutch will just about take 150bhp.........otherwise most fast road clutches will...
the 2nd pic will get you closer to the 150bhp than the 1st.
forget the 3rd item, a waste of money IMO

So i'll get a fast road clutch (safe than sorry)
Dblias TB and "standard pipe and box?"

or any sealed induction kit if you want the "roar"....but the diblas one is very overpriced for a airbox that holds basically a standard panel filter.
i used a standard clutch for ages.....then replaced it for a helix clutch when i did the flywheel, it had next-to no wear on it.

Nice one. Cheers.
In your garage it looks like you have changed your injectors. Do you think it will be worth while?
I'd rather have some runing at 50% than the standard ones runnung at 98%.

standard injectors are usually good for upto 150-160bhp........i tried 20xe injectors in mine, and it just overfueld a lot.

Clearly out of the above, the Dbilas throttle bodies are the best.
Standard injectors are fine, no need to uprate them at all for the power you'll get.
Don't expect 150bhp by just changing the inlet to dbilas tbs, it won't happen.

I'll let you off this time.
So with Drilled air box, K&N panel filter, 4-1 pro-tech manifold, Exhaust UK de-cat and backbox and the dblias TB. How much power do you all think my car will have. I have a figure in mind.
You 1st.

Regal site says "Gains of up to 30 bhp from Standard" for the dblias TB. 
Not believing it tho.

I was wondering how long it'd take u to plug you sig. LOL. 
My figure in my head was 140bhp. So anything more will be cool.
And sorry not wanting cams at the mo. How much are they new?
