Hello,

I am in the process of buying a MK1 LCR and I was hoping to 'slightly' mod it to gain a few extra horses.... I was looking for some advice on how far to go and what to do and what not to do.

I was thinking along the lines of fitting a piper turbo back exhaust system, intercooler and remapping it. I know its all very good and well gaining extra BHP but if I do this will I need to upgrade the clutch etc. ???

Thanks,

Henry

Remap will be the biggest single improvement and it's the easiest one to go for. Everything else will be fine on a standard Stage 1 map.

Loads of info on here about the usual suspects for remaps - have a search for (in no particular order) : Revo / APR / Custom Code / P-Torque and see what comes up.

I know a couple of people with LCR's near me and they've both recommended I go for new piper system. Have you got any other suggestions or recommendations ? Im all ears !
