£500

“For the first £500 we’d strongly recommend our own in-house-developed iMAP system (£475). The iMAP handset comes pre-loaded with a multitude of market-leading tune files for your ST225 and it will be able to recalibrate a vehicle that’s stock or modded to Stage 1, 2, 3, and even Stage 4 cars. For £475 you have all the tuning support needed until you want to push on past 380bhp. For £15, we’d suggest the iMAP windscreen holder too.”

£1500

“Our Stage 2 kit is a popular combination of mods that fits within this budget and help you push your power output to around 285-to-290bhp and 360lb.ft. This includes our 3in stainless steel cat-back, our 3in snorkel intake system and our intercooler upgrade. All offer great looks, performance and high-quality manufacturing. At this power level you are well within the realms of reliability and you should avoid running into any problems.”

“We like to use our customers’ budgets wisely to concentrate on reliability and the ability to handle increased power outputs. Let’s face it, what use is 500bhp if all it does is wheelspin? So, with that in mind we’d suggest our Stage 3+ kit, comprising DS cold air intake, intercooler, 3in turbo-back exhaust and 440cc injectors. We’d then add a DS block mod, Forge Motorsport actuator and recirc valve, our Mod-XRS software, Eibach springs, Whiteline rear anti-roll bar, Ferodo DS2500 pads, braided lines, Motul brake fluid, and a Quaife ATB. This offers a fantastic balance, and brings an extremely pleasing drive and an FWD car that produces real-world performance.”
