you would really wanna add the cost of a unichip and maybe so arp's and idlers to get the most out of it.....

That's toooooooo expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just buy the Powerbox directly from Mantzel +Mantzel chip (already with a raised rev limiter).
Go to the online shop, you will save a lot of money!!!!!!!!!!1

You can just get the mantzel box, fit it yourself, and be happy with 20bhp more.
If you want another 7-8 odd horsepower spend the other £500, but its the cost of the powerbox that gives the majority of the power.
Just buying the powerbox is the best bang ber buck.

i'd say u'd be taking the guts of €700 when u add the cost of shipping.....
i'll give u a go in mine some day so u can see the difference.
car pulls like feck up to 70-80MPH. i'd say i could do a sub 8sec 0-60 but not sure must give it a try........

lol, i am still heading up there some night, just workin like fuk atm. plus the car looks like sht.
will def be next year then anyway, looks like i have a piston problem, gonna cost guts of E300 to get it fixed i think. but the crowd that are gonna do that are looking for test case's for chipping, so might be able to get that done on the cheap, once i find out what the story is.

well yer not going to get a 140MPH GSI... well this side of spending about 10k on it
i have to rev the crap outta mine to get up to the 110-115MPH mark and sure i Very very rarely do them speeds.
the torque i have is great for over taking which is what i want....
