I think it's hard to go back to a 4 cylinder when you've had a 6. I dunno how i'm going to do it if and when i have to.

Ditto. The only way forward from the 180 for me is going to be another 6 cylinder or MAYBE a Turbo 2.0+. The 180 is everything I want right now though, so dont plan on changing Having said that, I'd like to get her to 200bhp at some point.

Anyway, welcome back

200 bhp is my aim at the moment. exhaust, bmc and remap will be the way im looking to get there

torque loss. is that just with a superchip. how much faster/ more responsive do an exhaust air filter and a chip make the 180

and exhaust and filter will give it a slight gain, a de-cat will give a bit more and depending on the chip I've heard anything between 5 and 10bhp.

A friend of mine fitted ZT 190 cams and ECU into his 180 and he said it gave the car alot more low down torque
