Once I found my way around the car I thought about chipping it for a bit more performance.
I settled on a MTM chip (280bhp).
With the ECU removed from the car, I opened the cover and low and behold there was already a chip upgrade in there (300bhp) and an uprated MAP bar sensor.
OK - so I know what your thinking, how come I never noticed the performance before.....
Please bear in mind this is the first proper performance car I have owned - didn't really know what the standard 230bhp should feel like. I knew the car really shifted when I test drove it, I asked the seller is it standard, he said yes...
Amongst the paperwork I found the previous owners name and telephone number.
Very helpful person, was glad to hear that the car was being looked after. I asked if he had any performance work done, "Oh yes!"
Yippee!!
Apart from the MTM 300bhp chip and 3.0 map bar sensor, also a MTM hybrid turbo (re-worked RS2 competition one) and a better wastegate.
This alone was worth what I paid for the car.
