thanx 4 the offer but i am well away from bying parts stage lol i am aiming to keep the car as well balaced as i can i dont want it to powerul i think around 200 to 220bhp i think doesent sound that much but in my fez si it will still make for a lot of fun and will also keep things usable and reliable i want to use a small torbo from the rs turbo as it is on tap from 2,000 rpm so will be less lagy but is it possible to push the rs turbo to 200bhp or will it need upgrading
