well the bhp isn't that impressive, i was running 277 before the exhaust, but i think its down to the torque, its 342ft lbs, dont think it drops below 300 till 5500rpm, its had the rica 280, the wastegates been played with so it boosts to 1.2bar, done the reverse i/c, air filter, exhaust, the usual really, runs abit rich top end tho, which i wanna get sorted, but definatley suprises people, all debaged :B_steerin forgot to say its manual, and its got the poly engine mount which makes it sound cool in the cabin
