Uprated panel filter (Cosworth), free-flowing exhaust (Revolution) and a remap will see you with a nice, all-round package with plenty of punch.

I'd make sure you do plenty of research before you start tuning as you may end up regretting any bit-part mods...if you get advice, check it with others!! Above all, have a plan and stick to it!

Avoid using Harvey is the first tip :lol:

To get the most from the standard turbo you need to sort out the exhaust system. If you change the exhaust to a 3" fully decatted system and go for the gt spec 2 headers, flow matched uppipe an downpipe + remap id expect to see noticeable performance gains.

Standard airbox on a wr1 is great so no need for induction kits until 400bhpish.

If you want maximum volume from an exhaust then RCM do a team ice pipe which is seriously loud. Not my cup of tea but does the job nicely. :)

IME if you want something that flows correctly and isn't stupidly loud then you wouldn't go wrong with a Milltek system...........

personally i wouldn't use Blitz as apart from making a noise (nice if you like that sort of thing) they dont tend to be very effective in flow/design

Something you want to avoid at all costs. Get a turbo from Harvey if you want to experience surge :lol:. Basically the car isnt 'breathing' properly for what ever reason causes power to be stuttery when it comes in rather than being smooth and progressive. Not nice to drive.
