Wasn't on TB's. But it made good power and recorded good times. Couldn't tell you what was done though.

Was setup so well, it done a 0-60 of 6.39 seconds with just the mantzel, cam, mantzel remap, exhaust manifold and some work done to the inlet ports.

Was awesome.

It was just setup right like D5 mate thats why it gave the times it did...

Just on 15"s and stripped out (not sound matting, just interior and seats and launched correctly).

It was as fast or almost as fast as Andy H 210bhp 1.6 16v for some bizarre reason.
