The coupes are nice, I love mine. I wish I'd bought a Turbo one, maybe next time though.

heres mine...love the car,have owned a few cav gsi's and a cav turbo before but this seems another level...it had a vxr turbo fitted,oversize intercooler,lightened flywheel,phase 2 software and a few little bits done...fitting a dumpvalve dont seems to work against the set up of the car ive been told

M4tt_ = Causes problems and breaks turbos.

I personally love the sound and am a little cheesed of having to take it off, but luckily mine has an awesome exhaust note

what kind of figures are these then?

0-60

Standard BHP?

How easy will it be to mod these to release some more BHP?

should be able to get one for that kinda money...not sure on 0-60 but around 200 bhp as standard....loads of mods out there to release more power but always read up on astra sport as not everything is ideal...standard turbos do seem to have problems as they get older

love my astra to bits, power delivery is great for a turbo, literally keeps pulling all the way round the revs

i have a dump valve fitted to mine and dont have any noticable problems with it? rolling road graph was smooth

I had an astra coupe, europa blue was a great car, only real criticsim was the seast werent all that comfortable, even though they were leather(however the heated function was good in the winter).
I had a baileys dv26d or whatever it is they reccomend, seemd alright on there, however when i returned the car to standard to sell, it went so much better without it!!

so as said NO DUMP VALVE....
