My first mod

forge 007p diverter valve (not dump valve) makes more noise than the standerd dv but is nice and subtle not too 'look at me i have a turbo' kinda thing.

Had a test drive in a 1.4 turbo yesterday, very nice car man!!Can imagine how much quicker the 1.8 is! (Y)

They dont make a 1.4 turbo?

Nice car Davy . .. subcribed

 

[mikey]

Yeah they do!And it was pretty nippy (Y)

 

[Ceirwan]

I wouldn't call 9.6s to 60 nippy!
My car isn't fast, i'd say nippy at best, and thats around 7.4ish.

I know, i know, it's not that fast...but a darn sight quicker than me li'l 1.0 or the 1.2 clio! maybe i need to campaign for the 1.8T lol...back on topic i'll enjoy seeing what happens with this car (Y)

I like to think of my car as being nippy, and parkers quotes 11.9s 0-60!

it depends on what your used to, coming from a 1.0 its rudy quick! but you get used to the power. the plan power wise is as follows

standrd = 180bhp
remap = 210bhp
K04 (s3) turbo + fmic + stage 2 map = 270bhp = 0-60 in 5.5 seconds = (Y)

as far as bang for your buck goes, imo its a great car to mod, even upgrading the turbo isnt mega bucks because the turbo from the s3 is a nice pretty simple upgrade.

the camera used was my mates canon EOS 40D

 

[Ceirwan]

5.5 to 60, i'll give you that is quick! Not fast, quick! I'll think I own a fast car when I can afford to run one that's 0-60 under 5s!

 

[daveeeeee]

under 4 seconds is easily achievable with this engine, the big turbo kit is about £1500 tho! would rather save my buck for somthing a little more special (Y)
