I never said anything bad about you or your engine dude, was answering the other guys question, generally every tom dick and harry says their chipped rst will run 200 brake innit hehe

If your having a Harvey engine then it will be a goodun, performance will be as Rab says

To be fair, people these days are claiming 200bhp on the standard cooler and cam... Standard turbo, etc

To see a genuine 200bhp as you'll be aware, you need more doing. But fair play, and enjoy the car. I've had 9 RSTs and they are alot of fun!

You're in the right place. Lots of expertise on here. Have a look in the resto/projects section for some really nice RSTs.
