The best tunes for our cars tend to be from BSR, RICA and Heico. None of them cheap mind you and all done yourself with a softloader I believe. That's not to say others are no good but these tend to be the most popular.

don't think you can get a dump valve for your car.

if you install one, the car's ECU detects this as a boost leak, and puts the car into limp mode.

i don't think there is somebody out there that has done a dump valve for this car.

i have a t5 r-design se sport v50 with a Stage 1 BSR tuning kit on board.

the cars running 260bhp with 412 nm!!! it pulls like a freight train.

i've blown st's, and even come up next to the new rs focus... 2nd to 3rd gear both identical, didn't really race as had little one in the car, so he shot off. but just goes to show.

contact BSR: http://www.bsruk.co.uk/tuning_produc...vo&mo=S40N/V50

Costs about £500... for the PPC tune yourself box, which can be uninstalled quickly as well.

The Stage 1 kit also has an upgradable JR Performance panel filter. And they recommend you use 98 RON fuel... V-Power 99 makes a massive difference!!!!
