Inassume a mk2??

In which case the mountune 350 upgrade is good as being ford approved you keep your warranty if your not fussed about the warranty then jamsport seem to be pick of the bunch with 500bhp + available if you have deep enough pockets smile

I can vouch for the Mountune 350 pack as it makes the car feel like a better version of the standard car, rather than how I imagine many go-for-lots-of-bhp packages would do.

If your not worried about the warranty ..... JW Racing/Autotech. JW Racing are the agents for Autotech Motorsport from Sweden. Peter is the man from Autotech and has been working on the 5 pot Volvo engine for many, many years.

From basic re-maps to full blown +140bhp conversions. Been proving to be the most consistant re-maps/set ups on the market.

Im currently running the JWR100, so 400bhp. Have been running that for over 12 months now.

Only issue: boost control solenoid gave up. But this will go with standard cars.

Good thing going this route, you can build up as you go along smile

A pal of mine let me drive his with a Motortune pack on it, very impressed to say the least, I have a VXR8 with just a "few mods" and I think it would give it a good go.

My mk1 Focus is a bit over 300bhp & can live with a supercharged 8 altough it is a bit quicker than the mountune'd mk2 i would imagine your quite right smile

This is at Thunder rd vs a supercharged 8 with over 500 bhp at the wheels mine was around 285 at the time, The weight of the 8's is really what equals the performance smile

There was @ a second in it over the full mile.
