BM3 help and questions

Hi all,

I'm thinking about going for the Bootmod3 stage 1.

My question is has anyone had any engine/ gearbox or drivetrain issues with it? Can the stock parts take the claimed 20% power increase.

Thank you

No issues whatsoever and it can absolutely handle the additional HP/TQ. Enjoy, you won't regret it. It completely transforms the vehicle into what is should have been from the factory.

Great, thank you! how has it effected your MPG? I use the car daily getting around 22mpg on average. I know it depends on the way you drive but I don't want it to drop dramatically when using daily.

MPG will not change as long as your driving habits dont change.
Easier said than done with a tuned car

You will be fine.


I do recommend upgrading the charge pipe when tuning this car

If this is a car you plan to keep long term, it would be a good idea to look into a crank hub solution.
