thats really cleared things up, thanks for that mate. I'm loving the analogies with the jumper and tshirt definitely makes it easier to understand. I've heard that itg air filters are pretty good value for money, think they are about £45 and add 5-10bhp. Let me know how it goes with the...

so i've heard, how much is it to get a better one? just not sure if its really worth it. I don't really understand what an air filter does and what an intercooler does...

How effective was the intercooler? have you remapped your ECU? 240 in a 1.9....i bet that is awesome.

fellow ford driver mate, i drive a standard 1.8 tdci focus. I'm looking to improve it though so suggestions much appreciated. That sounds like an awesome job that you have there. good luck with the KA.

I absolutely agree that those stats are more important than 0-62, because its much more realistic, but 0-62 is easy to understand because its the most commonly used if you get me. Thats the area that i want to improve the most in my car; the acceleration from the likes of 30-60mph and the...

thats too much for me, bet it works wonders though. Think that I'll just go for the remap and intercooler. Your bora is going to fly! what are you hoping to get your bhp up to? how fast is it to 60 would you say?

That's quite a lot really, but that depends on how much a decent turbo kit would set me back. I think that a rolling road session would be a good thing to do. Thanks for the advice on the intercooler, that sounds like a smart option.

not really answering your question but how much was your ecu remap? is performance much better now? i have a mk1 focus so might not work so well. As for hijacking the thread go for it mate, i need all the advice i can get.

thats gotta be the coolest ka i have ever seen. really didn't think that a ka could pull that off. you done anything to improve the performance of your ka at all? or just making it look the shizz.

i see. definitely sounds like an ecu remap is the way forward then. i was thinking about getting an itg foam air filter also...is there much increase in performance from this? cheers

Cheers mate...well troubles with the clutch but i've also heard that the engine life decreases, more of an issue with slightly older cars, mine has done about 80,000 miles and its an '03 model. The tuning boxes just seem a safer option. ta

I want to make my focus faster and more powerful (ideally without worsening mpg)...just wondering what the most cost effective way of doing so is? I hear there are some really good tuning boxes out there but the good ones seem to be about £300, is an ECU remap a better option? although i have...
