The power at the fly isnt mentioned on the printout, its just the wheels printout. I have text the lad who had the car and he has said it was roughly 19 bhp more so 255.1bhp.

I would have thought it'd be running more with that spec. Especially as it has a K04 turbo on it.

Bet its still an animal though, and it looks really nice

As far as i know mine is standard running the standard 180bhp management too.

Once remapped it should be about 220 at the fly. so thought adding a front mount and a better turbo would have gained more than another 30. could just me being optimistic though
