DBILAS Tigra Turbo

Regal launch their Dbilas bolt-on turbo kit to give 40% increase in power. It's nicely priced too, at £3750

The X14XE engine in the Tigra was never going to set the world alight until Regal have weighed in. The nice feature of this kit is it's completely reversible if you ever decide to go back to standard and means most competant DIY Maxers can fit the kit themselves. The kit includes turbo and manifold, intercooler, Flowmaster intake system and inlet manifold, dump valve and downpipe, management software and tailor-made pipes and hoses. The Flowmaster intake sits behind the grille and draws cold air in directly (good news as the Tigra engine bay is cramped and will be getting very hot with a turbo in it). The engine bay is also home to the intercooler which serves to kerb the detrimental affect of the turbo air being warm by mimimising intake temperature rises to only three degrees (we'd expect to see at least a 20+ degree intake temperature without an intercooler). Regal also offer a fitting service for this kit if you want a drive-in, drive-out solution. Click here for their website or call Regal Auto on 02380 558636.
