True!
That's why i'm going to try to get most of the performance just with small things And as legal as possible haha

i think the phantom charger is the ideal solution if you want some nice performance boost here

When you say "here" you mean in Belgium? Cause it's just the same as supercharging or turbocharging... Illegal.
Right?

Yes, it is illegal. Everything that generates more horsepower is illegal here (except a intake), but the Phantom is something else. You have to activate it (so you you only have more power when you armed it and going WOT, it has a limited time (60 a 90 sec) of boost and then you need to recharge the batteries.
And it only takes 5 a 10 minutes to put it back to legal conditions (replace the Phantom with the stock intakepipe).

Well, it's an option but i don't think i would add this to my car... Not really my thing, i just don't think i would be using all this much since you have to activate it over & over... Well, to each his own

it activates evry time you go wot and you wont be able to run out of boost on the public road ^^ so the only reason you wouldent use this much is if you never run your car at wot ^^ i think its ideal for belgium

OKEY! Woups! Clearly i understood it wrong, i thought you like actually had to "manually" activate it by a button or something! Haha, sorry...

So it kinda works like a supercharger i guess and it bolts in/out of the car in 10 to 15 minutes?

Suddenly it sounds pretty interesting!

Good luck finding a capable tuner if you are not tech savvy yourself...

Haha! i'm no tech savy! (i'm studying medecine, so i'll have more luck taking organs out & putting them back in then i would have taking superchargers in or out of the car) Supercharging / turbocharging is not for me, and just to tiring to do it here in our beloved Belgium anyways..
I'm happy with the car the way it is, i don't track it (or at least not yet) and where in the lords name would you use the ponies you gain from it, most of the time we're only allowed to do 50-70 km/h so yeah... NA it is

You can always buy an OFT. they have a tune for the Phantom Charger and than you could let them E-tune it.. but otherwise yeah good luck finding a good tuner for our car here.. still think this charger is the best we can get in belgium for an easy decent power gain.. most of the gain is in the lower to mids so it would be fun even on our roads just for pulling though since driving at high speeds isent really possible here and isen't even fun anyway :p

Installation is simple, basically remove intake pipe, replace with e-SC, replace big battery with 3 smaller batteries, attach controller and tune it with OFT, easy peasy.
To get it back to stock, replace e-SC with the OEM intake pipe.
And the bigger the batteries, the longer you have boost.

You make it sound extremely easy hahaha :p

You're forgetting the wiring part xD

The official install guide is only 2 pages long , so mine is the TL : DR version
