i have a dyno print out with the spec from 1997 lol showing 180hp and i asked the Tuner last time he done it and he guessed at the 180 mark so as a rough guide, it had a new ford cam in 2006 and has done about 30k on it, i've got a Boost valve (not a bleed Valve) to try and get ride of any wastegate creep that might be there, like you said thow i've never driven another RS so i wouldn't know how good or bad it is to be hoinst, and its my first turbo car aswell so don't really have anything to compair it to, my old MK3 1.6s seemed a lot quicker of the mark and upto 2500rpm, was just wondering if there was any other ways of doing it, but looks like i will just have to rev it more etc, Cheers for the help, also its running a Superchip a Blue one think its a SUPERCHIPS one what was fitted by Turbo Systems back int 1997 when it had most of the stage 2 tuning done but was only running a T2 then could it do with the Chip re-programing or a new one,
