Factory figure iirc is 168ps at the fly, 176hp at the wheels is a bit generous from essentially just an exhaust and filter, there are people that have done every conceivable n/a mod and still only shown 5hp over factory standard!

i can see 160s being the norm but 148 is surely a faulty car dont you think
There was talk that early ones were only showing 150ish and the later ones actually achieved close to the factory quoted figure.
