RCM all day long for me,

panel filter is fine up to 400bhp. Induction kits are only for high power cars or people obsessed with induction noise.

Are you going to ask everyone what the best dump valve is next?

DOING a remap and HAVING a remap are 2 completely different things. Are you doing it yourself or got it booked somewhere?

Sheffielder

im getting an ecutek map done at scooby clinic
yes I am obsessed with induction noise lol

nah im not a fan of dump valves tbh - but hearing the turbo spool up is a part of the enjoyment of driving a scooby

I'm sure the clinic will look after you, any your wallet lol

You might want to shop around for remap prices 1st as i'm guessing you wont get any change out of £700 up there.

Sheffielder

well it already has a ecutek map on it at 330bhp so they quoted me £200+VAT for a calibration map.
I am only having it mapped again so that it is calibrated for the new exhaust system and new induction kit (currently as a HKS induction mushroom tip that the previous owner had the car mapped with on) I heard those are bol**x so reason for the change. I hear you re panel filters but it sounds like a micra with no induction lol

I suppose if you're getting dyno time & before and after graphs £200+ is not that bad a price to be honest. Maybe worth confirming with them that it's only a filter change and decat and see if they can do it a little cheaper.

Sheffielder

yes its full dyno and before and after graphs
thanks every1

£200+ vat for a tweek + dyno time is a fair price, good call on that.

Induction wise, as people have said the RCM kit (rebranded K&N) is good, also the APS kit is quality.

If the car is standard apart from that i'd also get a 3 port boost solenoid put on while you're there.

Sheffielder

what is a 3 port solenoid - I have got no idea what it is lol

what does it do and how much would it cost?

Sheffielder

also is there any particular one i should get or from a particular place
prices seem all over the place

TypeR99

you will currently have a 2 port on, which has a t-piece in it where it connects to the turbo.

A 3 port has individual feeds and can handle more boost, so is a nice addition pre-map. Expect to pay around £75 fitted for a decent branded one.

Google them or do a search on here, plent of info if you look around

Scoobyclinic do a lovely perrin short ram intake, also look for a classic 3 port only about £40 and very good quality.

b3nmw

Perrin do a 3 port solenoid got mine from scoobyclinic as well

Sheffielder

wouldnt the K&n be better seen as it has a heat cover shied thingey lol

I really cant understand how this is different to the HKS one

they are both simple metal pipes with an air filter strapped to the top

how do they really differ?
