Wot BHP is your RS supposed to be? Also you don't know wot mods the 106 may have had!
It doesn't take nuch to knock an RSTs power right down - 5mm the wrong way on the dizzy will drematically alter performance - best to get it checked on the rollers if you can though.

yeah i am now looks like that 2.1 zvh aint far off well pissed off. my mate owns the 106 gti its standard apart from a full system and k&n. my car is boosting to 1 bar and holding 0.7 now its getting worse everythime i drive it 
took the boost hoses of today to change the thermostat, temp sender and fan switch and about 1/4 litre of black oil trickled out my hoses man i gotta get a bit more cash for the 2.1

Good luck with it all mate.

oh thanks for the advice about dodgy actuators people i read up on adjusting em today, so i screwed the pole as short as i could get it and ive went from 11 psi boost to 17 psi bosst lmao turbos rule suppose this also means mine turbo without a shadow of a doubt is chipped thanks a lot people

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Mine, at the moment running at 7psi with a fooked actuator is running 140.1bhp at the flywheel, should be close to 200bhp at the fly with a decent actuator holding 14psi.
Spec of mine is basically standard:
Standard 1800 Zetec bottom end
Standard 1600 CVH head
Standard cam
Standard Series 2 water cooled turbo
Scorpion 3" System with 4" backbox
K&N panel filter
Champion Cossie race plugs
Shagged -31 actuator
Chip of unknown make
Bleed valve

jamie im expecting 200 bhp..
i know its possible and the car has always boosted well and its fuelling fine.
I just need a top turner to sort my timing so i get the most peak performance from my cam.
Oh im running a standard i/c so i need a bigger one but not grs

GRS is a make of a intercooler, It is Graham off here, he makes them himself its his own business and he is s**t hot!!! Hisd large intercoolers are very good and very succesfull. I would recommend them.
Go here: http://www.grsmotorsport.co.uk/ Or give Graham a call on 01935 479014. He is a very friendly helpfull chap and will answer all ur questions
P.S Steve done his himself, clever lad

Thanks adam, ill only take that complement once my casr hit the 200 mark GRS coolers are very good but they cover the whole rad so if in traffic your car can over heat, i no of one zvh lump wiv a grs that did.
If you get twin fans im sure you wont have a problem

As steve said, there are a few good and bad factors to it, but they can all be sorted, as steve said twin fans, and also on a switch for being stuck in traffic moments etc.
Best give Graham a call
