Peak power is probably close to stock at around 320bhp - bum dyno sais 330ish, but lots of torque possibly 360-380ft/lb. But the power delivery and spool now is much,much sooner and more urgent.

BHP is nice for quarter mile or track work, but as a road I would happily sacrifice some bhp for more torque and turbo spool.

The car has way more low down grunt than a VW TD150 pd Golf.

I'm v.happy with it as is, but I can't see me ever wanting to go anymore than just pushing the stock injectors, turbo, cooling and block to the max which might get it close to 400bhp/400ft/lb.

Be good to catch up at one of the meets.

Cheers
