Even with an aggressive map, it's difficult to get flame without downpipes - when I bought the car from Litchfield, I asked them to throw in their upgraded bellhousing. At that point, adding the downpipes is very little extra labour. Add the pops and bangs map, and whoof.

Plus I wanted the car to be ready to accept larger turbos (ie. stage 4.5) if I decided to upgrade. As it is, the car is way faster than I am as a driver. I'm planning on some CAT training as my next upgrade.
