bongo sti Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Anyone got any experience of these guys? Are they reputable? Anyone had their "Phase 1 Performance Pack"? Cheers!
Scooby Hoo? Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Hi Bongo STI. Yes Peter (the owner) is very experienced and has a wealth of knowledge with regards to pinto zetec and anything Ford. He also knows his cars. He is responsible for the set-up of my kit car, which I'm very pleased with and a lot of the kit /specialist /rally car guy's use him. I would research what you want him to do first, when discuss your expectations with him in depth before you decide to use him. I seem to recall having read threads, on this site, about guys who's car didn't go quite as well as they expected, after Sanspeed worked on them. But I for one will use him again on the kit car. Hope that helps.

Hope that helps. Thanks for that. They do an equivalent to PPP for £999.00. ECU remap, High flow air filter, zorst...would take a standard STI8 to 310b bhp. Wondered if anyone has had it done... Cheers
loonybin Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) i wouldn`t touch them i know a few people took there scoob`s there and they didn`t run right after but each to there own. you could get all the bits ie green panel filter, exhaust and get JOLLY GREEN MONSTER to map it and still have some change left. thats what i`ve done very happy with it .

bongo sti Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) Sanspeed have already done mine mate. I just wanted to know what peoples views and get an unbiased opinion. Since my initial post I have done a fair bit of research and seen mixed reviews. Some good some bad. Most refferances to a remap though seem to be positive. I dont know the first thing about remapping or tuning but apparently they use ECUTEK software to do the map and apart from that its a new filter and exhaust. Ill be giving them a call tomorrow to see what Exhaust system they use. I dont pick the car up until Wednesday (from the dealer - not Sanspeed, they did the work in 2006) so will let you know how I get on. I had a fairly lengthy test drive and was blown away. Seemed to have much more oomph lower down the rev range than my work collegues 02 STI. Would be good if someone who knows their onions could have spin round the block at the meet Friday night (in the passenger seat ) and see if it performing as it should (have a cert from Sanspeed with it claiming 310bhp). I wont go above 30 honest and you can have half of a pickle sarnie for your troubles. I cant wait to pick it up!!! Edited February 10, 2008 by Bongo STI
j-k Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Speak to Arron or myself at the meet on friday...might have some info for you?? jon
