I was looking at these and I just wondered if it was worth the money going straight to phase 2?

Still be a sensible drive? is there a "button" to turn boost up on the turbo?

No - not on the coupe.
Dont do phase 2, go for phase 3 with Hybrid. Better all round

So you would put phase 2 on it on a limited budget with no hybrid turbo and wonder why its not "quick"

If I didnt wanna spend loads, what could I do, superchip? That (according to website) would give the car extra 25bhp

And leave as that?

m8 get the car first then see what you think to the performance, you can always budget for tuning a few months down the line, you might find its quick enough for you standard.
