Hi all, it's taken me about 5 months to find and buy a mps! I'm looking for an induction kit, and an exhaust system. Any recommendations? Heres a pic :  Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Welcome along
I'm new to the MPS scene as well, had mine 2 weeks. Already fitted Corksport intake and turbo inlet pipe and a Hypertech programmer thingy! Just waiting for a new topmount to arrive

Hello &  , in the right colour as well I see  For induction kits the cork sport is good value for money when you purchase it with the tip as well. What part of the exhaust do you want to change? Full turbo back (you'll need to upgrade the cam driven fuel pump), a lot just replace the second cat for a straight pipe as this gives a gain for a fairly small outlay.

Most of the parts are us import. The group buys on here will work out the cheapest, quite often see some bits on the for sale section too. Theres a couple of uk stockists of corksport. I've just ordered my top mount from FR&RT as they had it in stock. But some guys have had problems with them. Also Xo gets some nice bits in by the sounds of it

Welcome .! Great forum for new owners and experienced alike.
Corksport SRI is a favourite within MPS world. Exhaust wise I think the general opinion is go to a decent local custom place and get one specced to fit your taste and car.
There is currently a group buy for the SURE Motorsport setup with XO/Total MPS based in Northumberland.
Whereabouts are you based?

All I know is, that group buy is seriously discounted!
Sure stuff is quite expensive compared to other stuff at cost price, but the GB brings it down to a similar cost of a corksport setup. Plus it's our new UK Supplier who is running the GB!!
