people who cant look after cars and turn up the boost have problems...

if you look after it and make sure its not over boosting and making dangerously high EGT's etc - it'll be fine

broster - the skyline would have roasted his GT if i was in a like-for-like gear. The skyline's gearing was alot longer.

We raced the skyline vs my PGT - videod it too.... the were neck and neck till about 110mph. That was any gear type race.... so real world.

The punto also raped Des's c20xe corsa in all gears till higher revs.... and the turbo was beginning to be inefficient

i'll go look for the vid.


Greg - that is far from standard body wise

try and get one with low miles..

thats all i would say..

Also puntosportsclub is very good...

for 150bhp you need a seb chip, system with de-cat and bleed valve tho better if you had a boost controller.

150hp can easyly be got with the above mod's
