Re: Corsa turbo build

432bhp was achieved on the old engine, i and many others believe that the way things were going it would have done 500+bhp. Steve wanted me to have it rollered in the nova again so we cud shut some of the disbelevers the **** up but tbh i was so ****ed off with it it just had to go.

On the subject of Gav (and i am sure he will not mind me mentioning this) his old build did the numbers, his new one has done ****all yet. Like has been proven time and time again its not about having the right bits its about having the right combination of bits.

Rick updates his thread almost daily so its in always in the forefront of your mind, Gav's wasn't updated as much so not as much too comment on.

Have to admit, I spend more time on png these days as migweb doesn't have the same sort of vibe.
