i am thinking of doing some engine tuning to me ph2 19 16v in the form of

fast road cams
vernier pulleys
head work
remap

it currently has a bb performance exhaust and an induction kit
would i need to uprate the engine mounts and if so what do i replace them with.
what sort of power would the engine be pumping out. 160 bhp ish?

How much is that little lot gonna cost you? Best part of a grand? Could get a F7R bought and fitted for that which give similar peak power to them mods but better spread of torque and power throughout, cams will just make it even more peaky then a valver engine is lol

Mounts will be rate

Chris H does headwork but he's at the other end of the country and he also has a bit of a backlog of work at the moment

Maybe you could sort something with a courier or something
