Mainly to add a little more power (coming from a 300rwkw makes it feel like a 4cyl) but also increase it's fuel economy. I'm really not too fussed on getting much power out of it, as I'm only going to own it a few years. Just wondering what sort of kws people have got from a tune only? Would it be worth it? I'm pretty content with what I have at the moment, but I just thought I'd make the enquiry. CheersJimmy

All things considered though, it was probably the best move. I still owed 20k on it, the gearbox was dying, the paint job was up the creek.. had I bought another T, I would have been borrowing the whole amount, which I certainly didn't want to do! The grandpa car allows me to save some coin for another house, plus save coin for my wedding next year. A few years in it, and I'll pass it on to the missus and I'll be back in a T. It was either spend another 10-12k on the XR (T56 and full re-spray) or get rid of it and let it be someone else's problem!
