going to chip the car soon but have also noticed the bbtb on this site.
does it really give and increase in power as ive looked at the afm and this component looks very restrictive. had anyone had a chip fitted and then fitted the bbtb and seen increase over chip alone.
power figures?
thanks

No ones actually done the testing like that but at every stage the increase in power is felt. Midrange torque is the most noticeable gain.

Without pulling your engine apart the things you can do to maximise the 2.5 are:

ITG/BMC induction
MAF conversion (getting rid of the AFM) - includes remap
6 branch manifold
BBTB

If your car gave standard around 165 bhp youd be looking at around 185 bhp with all of that plus a big jump in torque.
