The are does run 2 bar I should of left a couple of gauges with Russ so he could prove it. The car has Been live mapped properly so is alot smoother, rather than be flat as fuck then a belt of boost. It's a shame you are worried about boost kick and failed to see what a clean original unwelded unmolestered and well looked after car this is.
We looked at others at ford fair that were more money and not a patch on this car!!
Your right it's not worth 8k it's worth more to someone that can appreciate it.
This is not a Joey Barry boy cossie it's a proper example!!!

Boost kick it was flat as areshole yeah it's clean but deff turned down,my brothers is a Harvey Gibbs speced 400bhp running same boost as this light blues, this wasn't a patch on it! my remapped skoda Octavia Vrs would of given it a run and it's only 240bhp, I'm just disappointed all that way insured it had the cash so in total it's cost me £90,but def not 2 bar

Remember this is low comp. I had a rwd escos same boost but high comp, with blacks and mine "felt" alot quicker but side by side wasn't alot in it.
Also fwd will feel quick as it's probably all over the road rather than gripping and going.
Shame you just abused the car when it now seems it's only the power you were dissapointed in and not the car itself.

To find the “right” car you have to travel, do you always buy the first car you look at? ....Not like the floorpan is hanging out ...
This car has been on a dyno (Dyno Dynamics) so the power is there! – perhaps your arse dyno needs re-calibrating before you slate the car.
If you are looking for a genuine original Sapphire this is the one!.. as you have stated above!
Underneath it’s as fresh as can be and this car is NEVER used during winter or wet days. Hence its box fresh appearance.
With regard the power – its live mapped - its progressive - its been set up professionally – hence it’s very easy to drive as a road car.( I have driven this car and have to say it’s a peach )
You state you have been in a 400hp HG car well forgive me if I’m wrong, this isn’t a HG spec engine so hardly a comparison – cam spec/turbo spec can dramatically change the driving characteristics of a car.
