My spec is half way thru at the mo.

Have the 1.9 Specialised engine, cossie management ,greens, T34 with 6 degree cut back blades / Maram shaft / 360 degree thrust bearing, grs rad and intercooler, Level 6 ecu

Going for forged pistons , steel rods, greys, P8 ECU with antilag and possibly a custom exhaust manifold.

Doing this over the winter.

This Spec should see me over 300 bhp as I should be able to run plenty of boost as it's just a toy car and not my main car.
