not lightning fast but they aint slow either!
raced one on the M25 in a friends rover turbo, not an inch between the two all the way round to about 135mph.
(rover was last RR'd at 178bhp!)

go on www.sxoc.co.uk or .com as i can't fully remember, i know it's something along lines of
exhaust, induction, some form of upgrading boost, and ad an injector or up the fuel pressure.. something like that it's mainly just making sure their's no back pressure and upping boost.
ask on sxoc they no
