    would you not be better going for a larger engine than the TB kit. I was underthe impression that it only released a few extra horses

    cs kits under producing? Dunno, haven't had mine on a rolling road yet but it certainly feels much much quicker on boost than it did before. A lot more wheelspin though.

    I'm going Santa Pod on the 25th so I will post up my times then.

    I see it as a waste of money also. I suspect a taxi sign would be a better choice of mod

    yes that will be your overboost making the car feel faster. C32 kits were all getting around 225hp standard cars were making standard power

    I have never seen a van version of the punto used as a bread carrier. I could get motor factor decals made up or a learner board put on

  • That wont give 330bhp. Fuel pump doesn't allow over 275bhp

    Cost over £4k as well to get it upto that kind of power. Post on mig a fe days back about a turbo owner putting out about 300bhp and he's already spent £4000-£5000

    Total Vauxhall this month.

    Most were not producing over 205bhp with this kit. That was on Northamptopn RR which is well known for giving very good acurate readings.

    far too much power for FWD, even with any sort of LSD!!

    plus the wallace stage 4 is quite a bit more expensive than what there website makes it out too be because they dont mention anything about extra parts which you need until you ask them...

    try nearer 3 times the price on the site!!
