COLLINS PERFORMANCE

£500

“For this budget, we’d start by suggesting our CP2 software upgrade (£360). It works on a standard car to give around 225bhp but will also self-adapt as you add further hardware such as air filter, exhaust and intercooler to optimise performance. With the remaining budget a CP torque mount (£96) and CP quickshift kit (£55) are great upgrades at any state of tune.”

£1500

“Building on the previous budget we would stick with CP2 for this amount, but by adding hardware such as a Mongoose 3in cat-back exhaust (£595), ITG induction kit (£246),and a Stage 1 intercooler (£315). These breathing improvements allow the CP2 software to optimise settings to deliver approximately 235-to-240bhp, and makes for a fun yet affordable little car.”

£5000

“For this budget we can go for our CP5 big turbo – a Turbo Technics S280 with CP actuator (£1420). You’ll also need the CP5 software (£480), Bosch uprated injectors (£432), ITG induction kit (£246), a full Mongoose exhaust system (from £896) and a Stage 3 intercooler (£549). To complement this, we’d suggest a set of Eibach lowering springs (£196), as well as the aforementioned CP torque mount (£96) and quickshift (£55). To finish, we’d add a set of Ferodo DS2500 front brake pads (£160) to ensure you can haul it back in again safely.”
