I've just bought a vts, it has a green carbon fibre ram induction kit fitted, but i want more power, what else can i do for more bhp apart from a turbo or supercharge? is there better induction kits? i would like 160bhp.

as soon as you do anything more to it your going to strain the engine.
Cooper s isnt that fast anyway but yes with that you should keep up with 182s.
As for whats the most power, how much have you got to spend

when you have 2k to spend you clearly dont want to buy rubbish, do you?
The electric 'supercharger' is a fine example of a waste of money.

Link (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/electric-supercharger-turbo-Citroen-Sa xo-VTR-VTS_W0QQitemZ8071042696QQcategoryZ36680QQrdZ1QQcmd Z) and that has been read about before and DO NOT i repeat DO NOT get one of them.lol. You will have no change from £2k if you do the mods listed. That probably won't be enough. smileys/smiley17.gif

i've got all of that apart from the dastek but i've got a 4 branch manifold aswell even with a re-map i cant see it making 150 without cams
i'm not saying what you've saids a lie i'm just giving my opinion

as above mate the printout obviously says that, but youve got too look at it realisticaly. a filter, a backbox and decat prob makes 10. 15 thats generous. a dastek isnt gonna make 25 extra ponies.
l horne. to get 180 brake Na, you need throttlebodies, standalone, solid lifters, wid cams. you should nearer 190. hope youve got a big bank account
