running around 380 bhp forged pistons, group a head gasket, good old t34 turbo, 500 intercooler lowered on konis but the plan is to wind power down to about 350ish for transmission reasons oh and the best mod was the alloy crank pully i fitted to the car but it would not even start so spent all day phone in breakers to find one to be told they like hans teeth but found one 2 miles down road from me fitted that and it started instantly so avoid these if i were you
