If you're looking for an easy boost in performance and don't care as much about the JCW Pro exhaust that comes with the tuning kit, look at doing a power module.Hi,
Toying with the idea of chopping my fully loaded MCS for a JCW but, on balance, I think I'm happier keeping the toys than gaining the extra bhp. Reason being I only drive 5 miles per day then maybe 50 miles over the weekend. I barely get to put my foot down.
So... My mind turns to fitting the JCW tuning kit as a compromise. Price seems to be around £2100 inc fitting. Dealers often have specials so wondered if anyone knew of one? I'm based in the NE but willing to travel a 100 miles or so.
Alternatively, any tips on releasing a few extra horses? I've not been down the tuning route before so a little nervous.
Thanks in advance
There are a few out there, most between $300-400 and they'll net you about 20-40 extra HP and ft-lb of torque. Burger Tuning makes one, NM Engineering (that's what I have-recommended), Remus, plus a couple others I'm probably forgetting. These take about 15 minutes to install and can be removed just as easily.
There's several threads about these, just search around.
