As well as a re-designed turbo for a faster spool and virtually no lag.
I assume that R5FORD was against a previous generation, slower and standard XR6 Turbo in his car.. but then his car is only an XR5 with those mods, so is likely to have less BHP than a standard RS would.

So c200bhp for £3k of mods/tuning work.. I assume that's a fully fitted price rather than parts only??
Any pics of your cars??
