Some T5 tuning questions

T5Sweep · Jan 27th, 2019, 11:31

I'm in the process of fitting a 16T, making a 3" downpipe and using the blue injectors from my old C70 to my 850 T5. I already have a 2.5" Jetex cat back, IPD BCS and a solid stage zero.
Who's the best person to speak to regarding custom maps these days? Is Shem still doing the rounds?

And do I need to upgrade the clutch as I get closer to 300bhp?

Ben.

I got my 99 239bhp mapped a few years aback which gave me another 38bhp at the wheels, not too sure what that equates to at the flywheel but I've found the standard clutch copes just fine.

38 extra at the wheels is a good hike in power! I had a RICA 304 map on it a few years back but it ran out of puff towards the top end. Good to hear about the clutch holding up.

Yep, Shem or Tim Williams still the ones to go to. Both will also be able to give plenty info on supporting mods or builds.
