As long as the car is still driving as it always has i'd try not to get too hung up on strange noises. If I worried about every single strange noise mine made i'd never enjoy the car - because there's a lot of them!
I had this on my Cup at the start of the year but way worse - to the point that it would squeak constantly. A new belt fixed it too. Was also only a year old lol
Depends really. Is the car mechanically sound right now? providing it's got good service history the engine will likely be sound. It's everything around it you have to worry about. Clutch, engine mounts, gearbox, driveshafts etc are all things that will be under more strain.
I went for low boost...
Only image I have online now since Photobucket decided to screw everyone over is this one mate. Anthracite is the one!

I'd say more along the lines of £3500 as you'll need to factor in other costs that might crop up along the way e.g. my flywheel was knackered when they did my clutch so needed another.
I've been boosted since December 2015 and not had any problems with the kit apart from needing an uprated...
I love how clean this Cup is. I'm using 2118's at the moment in anthracite for mine but love seeing yours on silver Turini's. Still got mine and so so tempted to swap back. They look great on both imo.
Thanks!. Used a Canon 550D and the Canon 1.4 50mm lens. Dodged and burnt using Photoshop to bring out the front and make the background lighter. Applied a filter using VSCO.
The only thing i've had done since my conversion by ED is the clutch. The stock one lasted a year of abuse after the conversion mind you! at which point the car had done 108k all on stock clutch to the best of my knowledge.
Haha cheers mate. Makes me cringe watching it myself but thought i'd do it anyway. Get out of my comfort zone and all that.
Good thinking. I'll look into it!
I'd say if you want an off the shelf kit or a roll in roll out service that's 'proven' (reliable, good customer service etc) then Engine Dynamics is your best bet.
Don't remap it. Save your money and put it towards your next car. If you do feel the need to modify then look at changing the cars appearance and not its performance.
More than worth it. I'm not saying that my car is quicker than both my friends as that would be a lie (The A45 is in another league in a straight) but in the real world you can keep up quite easily, even more so on a B road.
I can keep up with my mates F-type S into triple figures. It's 380bhp but weighs just shy of 1600kg!
Also pulled on my friends standard 265bhp S3.
With a head start I can hold off my friends A45 up into triple figures, but past 110 he leaves me standing (that thing is stupidly quick) No idea on...
I got a new toy, a camera gimbal. Decided to go make a vid last night featuring the Cup and my brothers SV650. It's a bit long tbh, just a test edit/practice really. Thought i'd share anyway.
