No idea John, first post, manifold is attractive to do as nothing needs breaking open, if I ever want more power then that will be first stop.

Agree, kicking myself I didn't develop one a lot earlier than we did.

Most CSL's tend to be between 350-355bhp, although some are higher. There are still people out there clImbing 30bhp from a remap

manifold is the crucial bit on the stage 3 anyway.

The 40 BHP is what Lee posted in the OP, hence my reply being that I dont think you will get 40 BHP from those mods.

Not sure if that was meant to me but Im not arguing just thought 40 BHP sounds like a lot for those mods. As you've already pointed out just now.

All I can say Lee is personally if I wasn't absolutely 110% perfectly happy with the company I was taking my car too, it wouldn't be going there!

I can personally recommend Simpsons for work, they are fantastic and a very knowledgable bunch!

Although I will say I've never had first hand of Thorney, have only read stuff online and listened to people's recommendations

Sorry, not directed at anyone, no slight intended. And I agree 40bhp for those
Listed does sound a lot.

Why does the P54 racing engine produces ONLY 400HP and costs a fortune ?

There is something wrong with the numbers I guess.

it's good to see you have time to post on the csl website - but still wont send me any paperwork / invoices on the work you have carried out or parts sent to george yet... if you have then it looks like the postman has decided to keep any mail with thorney motorsport logos for himself

Lee - not sure if you have seen this thread

BMW may not have the magic fairy dust next to their dyno

best thing if your up for these mods is to get your car dynoed at Evolve, pop up to Thorneys and get the mods done, then pop back to Sal at Evokve and redo the dyno.

If it goes up 30+bhp then you can tell us all and if not as Thorney seems to trust Sal at Evolve I am sure he will remove the parts and give you a full parts and labour refund.

If you get your car to 385 or 395 bhp you'll be nearly as happy as Mattcslnut who has near bhp to that.
