Finally had stage 1 done and I'm pleased with the results. Car made good power standard.

Good increase but if it had an intake and catback exhaust it wasn't standard ?.
Not much of an increase over stock with CAI and Cat back! Just shows that adding exhaust at £1000 plus is a waste and standard exhaust is pretty efficient! Hence why BCS just do a replacement of the back boxes.
I think for just a filter and and X pipe it's not a bad gain really. Ignore where it says cat back it isn't a cat back on it. I've tuned a lot of cars in the past and hardly seen any gains at all until the software is adjusted to suit.

It's a custom pro map m8 from a company called The performance centre in sunderland
I must admit it has taken me a while to appreciate it. It didn't feel that much of a difference, but I guess it's because of how linear the power delivery is on these,I'm used to a turbo kick. Now I've had time to drive it, I appreciate it a lot more, and it does moveNice resultI imagine you are more than happy

I've had the same experience. I think it was partly due to mindset - leading up to and immediately after my tune it was all I was thinking about and so perhaps I wasn't that objective. But a couple of weeks later and I have calmed down and so I am realising what difference the tune has made during my 'normal' driving rather than on test drives.
