not sure at the mo, it was 160bhp standard as a vti, then a custom exaust manifold was made, new fuel pump and pressure regulator, forge intercooler, pipercross foam filter bolted direct on to the turbo, full mongoose exaust system, interia removed, samco hoses and new ecu from america allong with software to map it.
all for under £2000 as work was done by my friend and i.
his new project is a 300bhp 1.8VTI running carbs of a motorbike!!!!!
im sticking with ma wee corsa 1.5td lol.
had a lot of fun with the blow off valve, cos the turbo\'s so big it makes a huge noise, so we thaught it would be funny to drive around town with an air horn gaffa taped to it as people where comeing out of pubs and clubs, god it was loud. hahahahaha
