Hi, a 3" feritta downpipe, sports cat and cat back will free your engine up - the turbo will spool up quicker. You'll need a stage two map, however that's the advantage of MTE as it can be re-mapped according to changes in modifications.

I disagree with all of those suggestions.
You need to buy or borrow a small engined car to use for a few weeks. Keep the T5 in the garage and clean and polish it. Then when the few weeks are up get the T5 out again and marvell in the superb performance that has been lacking for all those weeks

Furry nuff sadly you`ll be getting minimal gains now for the money you put in compared to the big jump when it was first done.
