getting very excited now
as title. i am picking my car up from sheadys today after going in last year for autronic conversion. the engine had enough after 8 years of 400 horses. mark has been great and rebuilt engine for me. i went out in it yesterday for last bit of mapping car is runing 2.2 bar of boost and bloody flies, mark said could run 2.4 bar boost but torque will defo kill the gbox.mark says its about 450 bhp if bit more boost will be about 470 . its been over a year but thats my fault but i cant wait now to get out in it. i would also like to thank dean[marks mechanic] for all his help as i have been very anal about all parts cleaned and polished. i will try to post some pics up when i get her back. the mrs is gutted as she was going to get the doors weilded up the roof taken off then turned into a hot tub oh well
cheers james

My car used a rear diff and front diff and 3 standard boxes on Full boost so get your money out.
So will have to change you from Buffty boy to Anal Boy that sound a bit rude just like someone else we know
