Ok, the 136bhp engine is boring me to death. It's an x-reg 2000 MY 136 bhp unit.

I want to liven things up - reliably, it has to start every morning and not pop too many turbos! The problem is I don't want to spend 10% of the cars value doing it.

Superchips offer an extra 30bhp but this is at a website quoted cost of £499 which is too steep by about 40-50%.

What do you think - who else should I look at and how much should I pay?

I have a later 150 bhp model, with a Superchip and I was chuffed to bits with the results. Happy to say their claims seem true. I got a deal through contacts in the trade, so paid c£400.

Olf, get DMS to come and remap it for you for that sort of money.

Oli,
Stop wingeing, give the 320 to the missus and start driving your 330 again!

Life will seem better then... wink

4 posts in 71 months? You are the ultimate lurker.

p.s. I meant to say to you, if you kept the silver one it would become your commuter... nice... but expensive.
