Hi Guys,

Just purchased a 2010 Ralliart for my wife. Will be interested in seeing what everyone has done to extract some power from theirs. Will hopefully be getting a tune in the next week or two and maybe a few more mods over time.

Welcome to Clubcj.

Please contact Merlin for a tune and any advice on mods to fit.

What power are you looking for?

Personally I would fit a Evo bov, good panel filter, larger intercooler and then just tune. You can get more power if you want to fit more mods like bigger injectors, bigger turbo and upgrade cams.

The sky is the limit or in most cases the budget is.

Thanks Troy.Ive been doing a bit of homework in regards to tunes so I think if people are suggesting to contact Merlin i will. I would like the car to look standard and not be too loud especially because we have a toddler.

I understand as I have a young family to. It's more important to have a safe, fun car to drive that doesn't annoy the neighbours and worry about getting defected.

A member in Adelaide(Blinklight) got Merlin to tune her stock ralliart and it's amazing now. Looks and sounds standard but pulls a lot harder and quiet.

Sounds like the best bit of Homework you've done since leaving school ... *thumb*

Merlin's Virtual Tunes is the most affordable & rewarding Tune available for your (wife's :roll:) Ralliart.

BTW ..... *welcome*

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Will hopefully have the tune done shortly and let you guys know how it goes. Just bought a new stereo as well so will have to get this installed asap. The Rockford Fosgate touch screen unit doesn't have iPhone support so have to upgrade.

Not sure how I missed this post, welcome and congrats on the RA purchase! I've had mine 4.5 years now and love it more each day ;-)

Depends how far you want to go with mods, but for basics I'd recommend, upgraded panel air filter (cosworth is good), exhaust (turbo back or cat back, I have a custom 3" turboback with xforce muffler and tips and love it), BOV (turbosmart or I run a GFB), coilovers (myself a few others have MCA Blue). You can go a base tune, its all I've done with above mods and its a completely different car or speak to Merlin / Dave about what he can do for you. Next step would be evo x intercooler, turbo upgrades.

Once again thanks guys.

Just purchased everything I need to upgrade the stereo for my wife so hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have it all installed and hopefully when I've learnt to post pics I will do that. We both don't like the MMCS so will also offer it for sale when it comes out.

Have spoken to Merlin and will get the tune done soon. Looking forward to see the gains. If the gains are as good as everyone says it will be then I might have to swap cars with my wife.
