Hi mate, if running correctly it should be putting about 200bhp at flywheel with that spec give of take 10-15bhp ish.

You're from Blackpool I see. You wasn't being followed by another S1 a week or 2 ago down the prom was you? (is your reg no C***JHJ or CHC or something like that).

I am from Preston.

I drove through Blackpool one Friday or Saturday night a week or 2 ago when I was bored and followed this S1 all the way down the prom. They had a good look at mine as I pulled along side and they turned off into the town centre.

Mine has only just come back on the road after a 3 year restoration!!

Its B***WHM. It has done a few laps of Blackpool recently while I was running it in.

I won't race anyone simply down to the fact the car is only running 0.4bar (6psi) of boost and it's a brand spanking new engine. Plus the fact that I need to get all the suspension set up as it drives like a sack of shit when going round bends. I give it boost here and there though.

I think I might have been on Halfords about 3 years ago before it came off the road but I doubt you will remember that far back.

I just set it up today with Stu @ MSD. It's now chipped running 14psi held. Pulls pretty well now for what boost it runs on a standard turbo
