Awesome Darren.
How much did it all cost? What increase in power/torque will this give you?
Hello Kev,
Hope you keeping well sir & still listening to that odd music
VAP V6 Power Pack which is 200 Cell Cats, Lower Pulley, Belt & Stage II ECU Remap was £3200.00 all in. VAP’s claimed figure for this is ‘up to’ 453bhp.
I possess neither the talent, nor knowledge to confirm or refute those figures. It certainly picks up quicker when accelerating & sounds fantastic. Looking forward to exploring its new capabilities when this is all over.
I’m sure at some point I’ll put it on a dyno. For now it’s nice to know it’s a bit different & sounds epic, from the inside anyway.
Hope to see you at some point later in year

Hi Darren,
Thanks for the clarification. Methinks I should save the £3K for a rainy day!
Hopefully you'll get a chance to have a good "play" soon, though I fear it might be a while off yet.
And yep... I'm still listening to that "rawk" music.

If I remember correctly that’s about the same as the difference to go from the 200 to the 240 when the XE was launched.
It makes this package look rather good value

I would have thought they would do a before and after Dyno run, I have always had it done this way just to check.

They dont have a dyno, to be fair its up to you to verify there claims hence why i did a before and after when i had work done.

Hmmm... thanks Tel.
But I'm not sure now's the time.
Having been made unemployed for 2 months at the end of last year, I'm just thankful I have a reasonably secure job that I can do 100% from home at the moment.
Also, not sure I need or want the extra power. I scare myself too often as it is with 400hp!

You don't have to use all the power, that;s the great thing about having a lot of it. It's reassuring to have it in reserve and great fun to have a dynamic drive, but reality is, you don't need to tap into it all the time.
Maybe leave it a year or two, 'till things have settled down...

Congrats Darren. Got it done at last. Sounds like it was well worth it.

You won't be a million miles away from these curves with your setup...
