Got my car back from Noble Motorsport on Thursday after a power upgrade and have spent most of the next three days out enjoying it ! The power is constant all the way through the rev range and pulls hard (Bondy has some experience of this at Brighton !) and when up in the revs on full boost with the roush exhaust (especially in the Dartford Tunnel) it also sounds awesome !!
So a big thanks to Mike at Noble Motorsport who kept me informed all the way through the upgrade and for giving me such a nice driveable car.

Steve,
Great news, how far did you go with the upgrade and any chance of posting your dyno plot?

Cheers

I'm not good at this posting attachments stuff !
I had what is known as the 'Stage 3' upgrade plus the Roush exhaust system. Not as much done as many have had but enough for me at the moment.

No worries, Just interested in the effect that the Roush exhaust makes to the upgrade. Guess about 420 - 430 bhp. I had a Noble Motorsport upgrade in September and I am thinking about getting the exhaust done next, did you get the cats fitted or go for the bypass pipes?

I had the cats fitted and it made 447 bhp but I treat the flywheel figures as a guestimation ! But it does rev VERY willingly now towards 7k !
