    Great video and this is not to pick any fault, but the crossover delete is not necessary either to see 300BHP. A standard airbox mod and a good panel filter is just fine. And will keep the bay looking stock. Win!

      obviously you're never had the crossover delete then makes a huge difference keep intake temp down a lot better to

      @@chrissingleton8473 Had 6 SRI Turbos, 10 GSI Astras, 6 Astra VXR’s all varied states of tune, so I think I’m well placed to say if it’s highly noticeable or not. Also it’s much harder to keep intake temps down with an Open air filter as apposed to enclosed one.

      True but when one guy says good map and intercooler the other guy says fully forged with a massive turbo

      @@cloake494 whole different what you sad. Of course these days from the 100 cars 95 is used as sh** box. Lot of *** hole tune them with bad things and more…. the basic engine is not too hard to kill them as factory setup and tuned setup. That’s why recommend rebuild them. That’s the first good step. But if somebody rebuild the engine full original than you can tune them Phase/Stage1-2-3-4 max. Basicly the 1 is only map. You can use it. Better than original was but there will be always make everything better.

    Funfact, upgraded inlet manifold you need because after 5000rpm you have power and not lose.

      Totally agree, it makes a good difference but not *needed* for 300 or less.

    You forgot the main mod - have a spare car in case the vxr end up on recovery truck and leaves you stranded without a car or at least have a spare engine if your current blows up!!
