Guys I've finally got round to starting to 'improve' my LE's standard performance. I've fitted a K&N panel, Eibachs and having a Catback system done later this week. I know the reccomended chip is the GTEC1 and got the 'How To' to fit but what else do I need? I've read once chipped you should get the car Rolling roaded to check the fuelling? Do I need to fit a Boost gauge as well? Advice please.......

Mods to come will then include:
Uprated Clutch
Uprated Turbo
Uprated Pads
Bilsteins
....oh and a P-Plate! (already fitted the Vanillaroma Mike!)

I think its been tested enough. Wouldnt worry about clutch or turbo till they reach their natural end.

Yep Steve - Once I know I have the resources 'free' for when the Clutch and Turbo go , I'll DeCat and replace when needed to up the ante.....

if the car is being rolling road checked they should be able to check the boost level for you with their own equipment so no need for you to fit a boost gauge if you dont want to.
