The following went on the car yesterday altogether, so unfortunately I can't give an accurate review on how each one benefits on there own.

Forge TIP - The noise from it on full throttle, is absolutely lovely. It really amplifies turbo noise and the sucking in is beautiful. You won't be dissapointed if you got one, but from the noise it makes I'd never take it off.

K&N Panel Filter - Changed from the standard one to this, slightly more low down noise, very hard to hear the changes but if you've got a good ear, you can tell.

Forge Upper Intercooler Hoses - Took the standard two off. And they were useless, touching them, and they collapse, so god knows what they were like when driving it. The Forge two replaced them, and the quality including fitment was spot on, you press these ones with confident that they won't collapse.
These might not give power in itself, but I believe these would be vital where you've got turbo lag. As these two don't expand, full air gets through quicker.

Forge 007 Dump Valve - Louder on full throttle, and coming off the throttle in 6th gear .. makes a beautiful sound, driving around town, it can't be heard outside with just a Panel Filter, but the noise inside is more than I could ask for, it's very loud inside, but a very nice 'woosh' tone to it. Can't see the shinyness of it, with the engine cover on.

Impossible Performance Remap - Blimey.

Thought I'd write all this, as when looking for information there are mixed reviews on different items.

Cheers

I was thinking about Red. But the waiting time was 8 weeks. And I've got a rolling road day coming up on Saturday. So it was either run the car as standard, or run it how I want it.
So... How much money were you going to put on them being red? I'll take all of it. In low monthly payments...

Nice review! Bet it's a totally different animal now :D

I wasn't expecting the power and kick up the arse the remap on top of all the products gave me. I'm so suprised, and it really is an animal.
I'm astonished at the pulling power it has in 6th up a hill. :)

I'd have gone for the blue ones as well. 8 weeks is a long time to wait.

All of a sudden I can't find my wallet :redface:

It'll be interesting to see the rolling road results. Bet you can't wait.

Yes, a rolling road day this Saturday at JKM. Anything over 250 brake would be nice. I'm not worried about straight curves .... Mike at Impossible makes some of the smoothest remaps there are....Well, From what I've seen...

I think blue hoses would compliment the engine better than red anyway...Too much red will look blended together!

But red is by far the best colour to have for a car
