FAQ
Common questions
What's the best first mod for an SR Turbo?
An ECU tune. The Gamma 1.6T responds well to a recalibration and it's the single biggest gain per dollar before you touch any hardware. Get that sorted before spending on bolt-ons.
What sort of gains are realistic?
On the stock turbo and 98 RON, a good tune typically lands around 180-190kW at the crank with a solid torque bump down low. It's a real, drivable improvement rather than a dyno-queen number - the factory turbo is the ceiling beyond that.
Does it actually need a tune, or are bolt-ons enough?
Bolt-ons like an intake or downpipe do very little on their own without a tune to take advantage of them. The car is fundamentally software-limited from the factory, so the tune is what unlocks the rest.
Any known weak points to watch?
The 7DCT can get jerky low-speed manners and needs its fluid looked after, so don't neglect servicing if you're adding torque. The Gamma 1.6T itself is a sound engine - just keep the oil fresh and feed it 98 once tuned.
