These have really grown on me recently and just wondered what they are like to live with/run?

Are they as quick as some people say they are?

Mate had one, not a single problem even after tuning it. His standard was as quick as my Corsa XE up to 80ish mph and only then did I slightly pull ahead.

Regardless of whats quicker as standard. You can spend alot less on a Glanza to make it alot more quicker.

Is that on high or low boost?

my mates will do about 130 tops on motorway and its screaming its tits off, my mates 306xsi eats it too. I expected more from them to be honest.

They come with a 2 stage boost controller in the dashboard as standard, high and low, but yeah, at the end of the day its a 1.3 turbo, still a good laugh and you always find when your next to them at the lights thinking, hhmmmmm i wonder what power thats running as you never can tell until its too late lol

no mate need to get different manifold and radiator IIRC

my mate emma done it to hers, was featured in banzai. around 190bhp when done and on the rollers!! was a quikc little motor and good power for a little 1300.

never had any reliability issues either.
