A decat is well worth it but boost creep is an issue. make sure you have a boost controller or boost gauge so you can keep an eye on the boost. Boost creep will kill you engine.

Also, no need to get dirty each time the MOT comes around if your car was first used in Japan before 1st August 1995 :-)

As Ben said ....just beware of the dreaded boost creep....3's are more prone to it

If you go down the route of stage one mods you'll find she'll do it easily, boost gauge would be well worth the money
