Anonymous Unregistered A	Hello all! I have been looking on here for a while and been meaning to Join! I have had my coupe for a month now! Previously owned another 20V Turbo that I had for 2 weeks before it Overheated and blew up! So I took it back! Gave me the coupe BUG so that's why I brought a new one! I have already Put new clutch in from SOLO-ITALIA, 19" TSW RIBS, it is being re-sprayed as we speak as the bodywork was tatty, Gone for a mad Blue colour, will post pics as soon as I have her back tommorrow! Oh, ALso got AUTODS KIT! Not bad so FAR!!!! NEED HELP THOUGH! Need to lower now!

Keefy, are you running the unichip mapped over the standard chip or something else? Also what turbo have you got as your power rating is very good if just on standard.
