BSR do a DI/APC upgrade for 9000. This gives 50hp, and 25% extra torque...which should take us 2.3T (or carly) upto 250hp and ~300lbft. It is at £220 including vat and delivery.
Questions:
Is it worth it?
Will we notice this?
Has anybody done it on here?
Would an MBC still work?(due to broken solenoid valve)
I just thought this might be of interest to all of our ancient pre trionic cars....

Is it worth it?
It's cheaper than any Trionic upgrade I know of

Will we notice this?
Defintately

Has anybody done it on here?
I believe my last CSE had a BSR chip in it. It was only a 2 litre but it went like stink!

Would an MBC still work?(due to broken solenoid valve)
Yes, and it should be a bit safer with the software that's mapped for higher boosts

I'm sorely tempted - as usual I was considering changing the car for something newer (scooby etc) but have not been impressed with the many cars I have considered - nothing offers the pace, grace safety of the saab.....so am again tempted to upgrade the carly: and this looks good...

Defintely e-mail them and point out that you have TCS, I know a lot of the APC upgrades can't (or shouldn't) be performed on cars with TCS.

Lucky man ... I thought all CS Carly's had TCS.

Most did-it was an optional extra....thankfully the first owner of mine was tight (or blessed with psychic powers)

OK, lets blame the original buyers then.
