Looks like OP is in the same boat as me in terms of proposed budget etc. I'm up to €8K now and should hot my €14K target by the autumn (PM kis the sale of 2 cars), so a circa €20K budget for me also. What I'm noticing though is that there are plenty of cars out there (though I'm looking in...

Thanks @Lehn I believe I have read this reveiw on my travels. Though, with regard to my enquiry, I'm entirely not convinced they're directly comparing the PLUS to the 326, because both those models seem to achieve the same results when tuned. I'll have to dig around to see if the 326 also...

Thanks again for the insight @-Ju- , particularly regarding the Ad Blue introduction (presumably for Euro 6 compliance). This might not be a concern for me as most I see in my proposed budget tend to be 2013/2014 models. My last 4x4 weighed in at 2.1 tonnes

Thanks @-Ju- for your input - I did follow the thread when you sold yours. I am admittedly not a fan of the Q3, but I can appreciate it's dynamic capabilities particularly in RS guise. We sometimes do road trips and while boot space is not a total deal breaker (I have a 580 litre roof box)...

You know @SteveMcB, it's that long since I left the Scooby scene that I had never even heard of a GB270 until now. Kevin (and Adam, RIP) at Scoobyclinic did try talking me into a 2.5 conversion for my old gal when I needed some engine work, but I opted for an RA closed deck block and think it...

Thanks for the feedback and insights @SteveMcB. So glad to have come across a former Scooby owner (god I loved that car) who can make the comparison. Mine was a jap import that started out with 260PS but ended up reasonably heavily modded, gripped superbly well and was very fast (well, it only...

Good to know @cosmicblue, an ARB would one of the first things on my list.. but considering I do drive spiritedly (when alone) then some sort of brake upgrade maybe should be a consideration. I know MK and it's roundabouts.. passed through there often enough. Over here (in my neck of the...

That's interesting @cosmicblue, most reviews suggest that the brakes are more than adequate. Perhaps something else to add to my list ;)

Oh, just to clarify.. the Sweedish company offers a flash tune via their device and is as such is NOT a tuning box. However this is where I noticed the most significant difference in gains/results when stepping up from the 313PS to either of the 326PS and 340PS models. I will perhaps contact...

==> A lowly 313 here <==

Cheers John... I'll see what's available when the money is, but I can see you're hot on the 326 (they seem to be a touch more expensive than the 313s on this side of the channel). For us, unless I buy something else for the missus, it's go to be a one car fits all (tourer, sports car, grocery...

Thanks for the feedback/input John.. Tuning has always been a part of my "hobby" (took the Scooby from 260 to 350hp), so it's a bit of a naughty habit :imp: Over here, we generally are not allowed to do anything modification-wise (vehicle has to be re-classified or re-homologated or whatever...

So anyway @45bvtc can you think of any reason why the 326PS & 340PS models would respond better to tuning than a 313PS?

Still looks immaculately clean... :thumbs up:

Yeah.. my mum told me it had been coming down relatively thick over there (she's not a million miles from you).

Please remember, I wasn't comparing tuning boxes to remaps.. I'm comparing the proposed gains between the different models and obviously wondering why there appears to be a significant difference.

@45bvtc How's things John?

@desertstorm yeah, I think I've seen this video while trawling YT, it's on my list to watch

Hi @desertstorm, I think he meant John. As you say (and I alluded to in my post) the figures could be taken lightly, but when taken as a point of reference there seems to be this gap between the 313 and the higher power models. I'm just wondering why and if it's something to take into...

Thanks @NevMan, I did already tag him as we've spoken at length via messenger re the car in general, just not specifically about my recent findings. I'm sure he'll pipe in when he has a free moment.
