Last saturday i finaly got around to fitting my Gtech1 and prv <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

The chip was supriseing easy to fit,thou i still got to get round to retuning my radio <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />,after disconecting the battery to be safe <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I've set the prv up quite easily after winding it out to get a low boost figure <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> then going for a run,then stop and adjust etc,etc <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/boring.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/boring.gif" alt="" />

From 0.6,0.9,1.0 finally setteld on 1.0bar with a tiny spike to 1.1 <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

This is only temperey as i have to get the fuelling checked
and if its okay,i'll save my pennies for a Pro ally fmic,Blue flame etc,etc <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/boring.gif" alt="" />

Any suggestions to the next sensible up grade <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Spec so far:
TB28 Hybrid,K+N panel,drilled air box,DV30,Samcos,Gtech1,Prv At 1.0bar,Boost gauge.

I'd say fuelling check next as you suggested and then an exhaust to help breathe a bit better.

exhaust should be next IMO - then up the boost to 1.1 bar with a 1.2 bar spike. Then FMIC and boost at 1.3 / 1.25 bar. (both at the same time if possible). Rolling road check the car evey time you up the boost or change the spec.

I'd also get some decent brake pads - upgrade the discs when they wear out.

Maybe think about a set of coilovers and lowering the car a bit if your interested in handling, though coops look much better IMO a couple of CM lower. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
