90bhp.
Fire on a cheap tuning box and it will take it to about 115bhp.

You can get them remapped aswell, can get some pretty good figures out of them. On the Dturbos you can wind the fuel and boost up, and make it real smokey!

My old 1 @ 1.2 bar was rather smokey.That was just from turning the fuel up.By adjusting the actuator too,you can tone down the smoke.

I bought the car above. Got it for 400 in the end. Its seriously solid underneath and seems to be in spot on condition. It's been sat for a while and the turbo seems to be sticking abit. A mate used to work at pug he's going to free it up and change the gasket on the turbo manifold because thats leaking.

That's fine knowing it definitely hasnt been done in the last year, but when actually was it done last? Because that could be an indeterminable amount of time, meaning it could well have flown past 36k since the last change, wouldnt be banking on it lasting till Xmas, especially if you've got a Peugeot trained mechanic as a mate
