| 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. |
