Well im sure Martin wouldnt say it unless it was correct about the valve size, but bare in mind that if you are only after moderate gains (like 250bhp or something) then bigger valves would only make it more laggy and shitty low down and given no gains up the top, bigger isnt always better when it comes to valve size.
Obviously if you are tuning the absolute nads off it though, you want to be starting with the biggest valves available in any of the standard cars for that
Yup remembering back now to the conversation, Martin did say its the engine with the BEST scope for future power!
Oh and there's been plenty of A3 running 300+ on standard internals on that website, one is owned by a bloke Rich who runs JBR Performance.
