Cheers it's a great car, just doing the tidy up jobs on it really, and adding my own touches to it. It's great to drive now I've fixed the boost ( there was a loose pipe )

From what I've heard the engines are brilliant and highly tuneable… do you know what bhp your putting out?  Honestly mate… no idea what you paid but looks like a professional conversion…. looks very, very nice.  You bringing it to the AGM in July?

It's using the qpeng wiring harness and ecu with the 200bhp set up, up untill I found the loose boost pipe I had my doubts but now it's fix I think it could be around those figures. I don't think I can make the agm due to work commitments

welcome to the site mate and to the scene, we're a friendly lot, some us us have some screws loose (spud) but we're all for the mk1 so thats all that matters! hope you can make the AGM mate! lush motor by the way, engine looks top notch in there!! you had any issues with the different lump?

Bruce I'm going to spike your drink with laxative at the AGM  :mrgreen:

Marky good luck with the motor mate and just like to say a massive thanks for supporting the club by becoming a fully paid member after only 5 post  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

hi marky11

not sure what you mean by "just enough power" when you have a 20v under the hood  :mrgreen:
