No. You need 3" exhaust anyway if you're trying to gain power.

Are you saying the uprev tune is pointless? There charging me 500$ they say its 15-20whp gain dont know how accurate it is though

FYI the NWP TB is 8HP on stock car, and greater on advanced setups.

There's safc,vafc,safcll,vafcll and utec as other options as well...

With the mods you got the ecu might be able to make proper adjustments unless you go with bigger injectors and intake

Perhaps you could add a few quid to the kitty and wheel and deal with the lady in the classifieds she's got a 6spd with some goodies for sale, and ditch this plan or at the very least postpone
