St3 Morphing Into St3 Mp215

[roocat]

Just got one from them, and are actually quoting me the cheapest insurance i have ever had!

Just reading the fine print between the 3 different quotes. :-)

Yep me too. I was pretty surprised how reasonable they were.

Same dudes, 21.5K is huge money, that would get you a Cliosport which is a lot more car. that's pretty much full RRP, still Orange ones are pretty rare and someone probably would have taken it for that.

Was it brand spanking new or Dealer owned before you?

[Russdaz]

Phil I went to three different groups, apparently there wasn't any orange ones made for the UK anywhere at any spec level.

But yeah if I had of gone for any other colour I could have had it cheaper.. But I wanted orange :-)

Brand new I am only owner only had 26 miles when delevered. Had to actually months for it to be made.

Haha i am hoping so lol..

Does it actually make much difference audiably?

Never fitted a kit on a turbo car before, only ever modded n/a cars in the past, and then always open cones, or throttle bodies.

Very much so. With the window down you hear all kinds of sounds.

Around 1700 revs a strange "wooing". Above 2200 the "suction" noises start. And then when you lift off a loud PSSST.

Haha.

It's quite addictive.

^ yes I like the turbo noises too, and they're noticeably louder with the upgrade :)

[Riordian]

Don't know what the rest say about this kit... but it is the best i've seen on the road and still keeps your warranty... why go for more? To make sure your engine fails and spend 5k more to rebuild it and lose your hard earned money? It's just a remap guys... don't rustle your jimmies so much about what it can give you... with the mp215 a friend of mine passed a John Cooper Works. It will be the fastest car on its category without losing its warranty...

[Russdaz]

Well, I am pleasantly surprised to how much of difference this kit has made. Some nice turbo noises, but not only that the exhaust is noticeable louder to, as a neighbour noticed I had changed something yet they didn't know I was planning of fitting this..

!Removed! down with rain so haven't opened it up, but the torque increase is very noticeable, at low revs.

Expensive for if you think purely on the bhp gain, but overall I am happy

[Russdaz]

Another thing, my take it everyone with the kit uses superunleaded?

Personally always used vpower, the Mountune programme is actually written for it.

[Phil 87]

^ Yes I've always used V-Power even before getting the upgrade. I didn't know the Mountune map was written for it though, did they actually say that?

[Russdaz]

Yeah, have it in writing in an email from them.

' Yes, the MP215 calibration was written to be optimised to with super unleaded fuel.

We would recommend you use super unleaded.'

Spoke them again at the time and they said again. But will run fine with normal.

[Russdaz]

Yeah they confirmed in an email that the map is optimised for superunleaded, but will run on lower.. It just retards it's self. But I didn't ask what octane rating it was optimised for..

[Phil 87]

That's good to know, so I've not just been wasting my money on more expensive fuel haha. It would have been good to know that when we were arguing about different fuels in other threads.

[Russdaz]

Haha nice sticker mark.. Who fitted that? Just had to look mines normal.

Oh yeah I remember that sticker. I don't think they fitted that to mine, maybe they only do that at Mountune HQ.

Then maybe I should ask so money back, as mine was done at the hq lol
