the cihip on an RST does not change everything, it uses MECHANICAL fuel injection not electronic fuel injection.
as for the T34, if you want big power you need big turbo, there's no way you can get a small turbo to do big numbers without exploding its all physics
well theres no mention of a standard bleed valve in my haynes book m8.and i know its mfi,and the chip does not change everything,that was the wrong word to use.the fact still remains a t34 is too big for a 1.6,and it would not be a fast road car,rolling road figures all bollox anyway,and thats all most people are doing,is chasing bhp figures
