It's got a FMIC and twin fans so there is hope @ 22psi for reasonable power maybe 195bhp on 99Ron with a stock engine, T3, and a good setup.
But far too much money!

I'd be more worried about the heater that only blows out cold - normally a sign that there is no water in it!

poor guy, he would have been told by some idiot in a garage that it's pulling decent power and clearly doesn't know for sure.
i love the switch for extra boost too, worse than a bleed valve, EBC is where it's at.

22psi could be pulling over 200bhp, i know of a lad using a carb turbo setup and 25psi and pulled 240(something, can't remember exact figure)bhp, they reckoned it's go more if it wasn't on a carb as it was restricting too much.

who knows, it isn't a bad car, just needs some attention and for that i'd offer Ł1500 if it is in good nick.

Id be less worried about the power he quotes and more worried about the fact he says its rust free!

He's in for a shock if he looks under the carpets/kit/chassis legs lol

Rob,

i wouldn,t want to put some ones car down cus it could be mint but he has took the p and made a rod for his own back by saying 250 bhp . as for the problems the car holds he should of sorted these issues out first at least then you would stand more chance of selling this car

i cant believe it i was going to buy that over a year ago for Ł2500 and it was crap then, the head gasket had gone and the the paint was like orange peel. then he dropped it to Ł2000, and it sold then a little while later i see it on ebay looks like people keep getting robbed with it. shame. im just glad i wasnt 1 of them.

theres people on here claiming similar bhp with similar mods
think the ads a bit vague and he could have expanded on it as we dont know turbo size,cam make,chip make etc

say he put

nms chip
newman cam
stg 3 hybrid turbo
grs cooler
running 22psi and making 250bhp + then i doubt it would get shot down as much

also ive seen less specced cars with graphs for similar bhp,shame that most people are clueless and will beleive everything they get told
