Nice mate

thats an expensive way of getting 400bhp though!
I've also got a mate with a MKIII Astra which has had a 2.0 turbo conversion. I think he spent around about 7K on the engine, but it is a full race spec jobbie. Thats running just under 400bhp but is capable of more. He has just left it at that for reliability and doesn't feel the chassis could handle any more.
