thats not much really, as there's a charger ready for my car 1.5 109standard that nearly doubles the power. surely it can take more power

Its at ground level to keep the front planted when the car is launched to keeo traction and also improves stability.

Robin, yeah, hers was a 1.6, although she owned it, don't think she actually ever done anything nor got it working.

Yeah, but it's a low boost application as the standard compression is 10:1, and the standard pistons aren't up to much, so the gain in BHP is good, but not amazing.
