i know the guy the that owns the car its a fast car and he does push it very hard i raced him in my new coupe running 1.3 bar and beat him and i was running standard internal and i thought mine would last but one 4th gear run ended my engine i crack a ringland on the piston last week it was the 2nd 4th gear run that i pushed the car so its down to luck really now i have another broken car just makes me think what kind of power was i running if he had 420bhp obviously too much

Hi Goose, not seen you on here in a while! I have to say done a few standard engines with power that would raise the eyebrow, but yes when done right it's a pretty solid engine!

I remember reading about this car a few years back and I think I saw it around Basildon quite a lot. Very quick but a bit of a dog to look at and I'm sure it must be dead by now. I also don't think it could have been 400bhp but I could be wrong.

It spun a big end on number 1 when I stripped it down you could have got away with a little light rub with wet and dry and a new shell replaced but he broke it up for parts which he regret doing it and now I have all the parts in my ink plus

Manual Boost Controller hello guys, need advice, I want to install a manual boost controller to my 16 VT coupe, wich is complety stock,(only k&n cone air filter, a freeflow exhaust witout catalitic) but really don´t know how many bars should I set the boost in order to gain about 50 hps, without compromising the engine´s life. I´ve heard that i have to enriched the mixture and work with the pressure regulator, any comment? I´m from, Honduras central america.

You will need a modified chip for the ECU to allow optimal performance and increased boost pressure. Send me a PM for details on our Stage 1 and I'll advise further.
