And since when does an engine produce the exact amount of power the spec says. Like i said earlier, they always seem to put out more power than 120bhp. Therefore if its say 125bhp before the modification, its only a 15bhp gain from said modifications.
But were going from what Citreon state here...
Oh, bearing in mind it's 10 years old and got atleast 60k on the engine, it proberly isn't even making standard power (if it was standard)
If it's been look after and serviced regularly. Age isn't an issue.
..But 95k is. End of.
Any two of my mates own VTS's and they look after them. They have to

Fair point.
But it's French, so its typically not biult as strong. But citroen say they're 120bhp, they must be. The rollers must be dodgy when they make over.

Its the late model saxo's (2001 or 2002> that have the EGR valve not the early ones.
The best ones to get are 2000-2001 models with the "2 prong head" the heads on these models flow 6% better than other models.
As for power for the motor mentioned in the 1st post i'd say at least 135bhp but if the NOS has been used alot the engine could be getting a bit tired.
