Hey all, i plan on getting the saph Stage 3'd this year, its on the original lump thats done 90k without a rebuild, however, its been driven gently most of its life and doesn;t smoke or rattle at all, if i uprate the headgasket, do you think the bottom end will take it for 6 months, bearing in mind i dont drive it that hard, dont do track days in it, and i dont rev the arse off it, will it last?\
Cheers people.

U cant really say.........but i'd recomend getting it mapped instead of chipped to get the best/safest results.......

My old 4x4 saff was on 88k when it went onto stg 3 all that it had done was a grpA head gasket . Mark @ MAD set it all up for me, it also had a T34.48 on it and it made 349bhp and 355LB/FT @ 1.6bar........It was really good on the road

Thanks guys, i drive it relatively hard, i dont thrash it, as in Rev limiter all the time ETC, but i dont drive it like a granny! Need enough poke to show these silly rice rockets the road!
