yeah ... like the bloke near me .. had it dyno'd at 265 after fitting big intercooler, hybrid turbo, and a cam.

now quotes it at 310 bhp cos it feels that fast as he has added a chip thing is everytime i have met him on the road the cossie has showed him a very clean pair of heels

bloody slowarsed calibra driver

and i can tell you he has spent a lot more than 650 quid to get it that far ...so looks like chip should be in the tuning business

Robs car made 300bhp for that money.

Just cause one person doesnt know what they are doing doesnt mean it isnt possible.


All you need to get to the 300bhp ballpark from a LET engine is:
decent intercooler (or a very cold day on the standard one!)
a set of chips
higher fuel pressure
a relayed live feed to the fuel pump

The engine and turbo and injector and fuel pump are all capable of 300bhp from the factory.
