if everyone listened to internet forum advice we would all be driving civic vtecs with rear camber, lowered 300mil, stripped out with an x18xe1 conversion.

I've run one mate. Results are fucking great for the money. Mine ran 201bhp.
Btw its waste not waist
And aren't you that dodgy rip off merchant so tbh I wouldn't value anything you say.

bhp isnt as important as torque for a derv though. i thought you understood about the delivery over the numbers hence opting for your coversion for your corsa?
derv = delivery
petrol = numbers to make owners feel better about not buying a derv

And torque? Normally they over fuel like hell and just are not as good as a proper stage 1 remap. As for the comment about rip off merchant you still go back to that and think im going to be bothered by it.

torque is just the same, peaks and drops straight off
is that why you run such a big turbo that, when it finaly boosts you get all that delivery at once, in an uncontrolable manor?
is that the sort of power delivery you are talking about?

£3k is quite a bit. The difference in fuel for 6 months wouldn't be that.
Get the GSi.

deano, they used to be 6k, but have done back up in valve
you need to spend 8-9k to get a decent 06/07 plater

it comes in low down about 3800 and will hold 2bar to past 8k if limit was that high. its far from uncontrolable. i hve it set up and mapped to respond quite well.
thanks though.
