We've just picked up one of these. 2011 car in 8C red.
Can I ask what work did you do to achieve the power gains? Does the car feel quicker? I'm interested in upgrading our exhaust as it is quite muted at the moment and wouldn't be against doing a bit more work.
Sorry for the late replies, i had it set so i would get notifications when topics were posted on but for some reason ive missed them until now . A while before i sold it i had the power taken back a bit, only to 280BHP but it made a big difference to how it felt to drive. It actually felt quicker as you could use all the power instead of having to be gentle putting your foot down and have the traction control kicking in.

I love the 8C red to get the power it was a full turbo back exhaust with sports cat (built at ProAlfa in watford) ProAlfa air intake upgrade and a custom remap by ProAlfa aswell. Its all tested before and after on the rolling road in the unit next door to them so you can see what your car is doing and that its running correctly too. I cant recomend them enough and i still use them if my RS needs anything. As Alex said though, speak to Chris at ProAlfa and he will be able to help you and talk about what you may or may not want to do to yours- http://www.proalfa.com/contact-us/
I wasn't really planning on changing my GQV but things changed and i had the chance to buy a car that i have wanted since i 1st saw a photo of it so i went for it. I still miss my GQV and wish i could've kept that aswell but i havent got the space or money for 2 cars
Just remembered 1 other thing that i did do to it, had a bigger intercooler put on the front. Went for gold so it would stand out a bit. It was remapped again after this was fitted but just by bolting that on it felt a lot better to drive and you could notice a difference. It brought the intake temps down a lot
