  1. im not arguin with som 1 who thinks he nos every thing over a computer any way. got better things to be doing. just not havin some cock tellin me i dont no nothing bout cars and cant do my job when he probs sits at a pc all day pushing buttons
  2. if you rurnnin just shy of 300 bhp with standard cooler pressure regulators and internals with then the engine is not going to last long. you can wind the boost up on any turbo car and get silly power out of it. but you wont make it very far. and you need to watch what ya say over a computer. you can pull out dads brothers sisters results out all day long but only they no wat mods r done. argument over
  3. considorin im a fully qualified techncian and yes i do no wat a ko3s is and i no they wont run that with standard internals. also to add to the fact my work is full of performace cars like m3's evo 9's evo 7's supercharged vxr8's and range rover sports i aint stupid. if you could get 300 bhp out of a map in a cupra every 1 would have 1. the reason y most things beat starlets over 100mph is not because of the amount of boost they run. the standard intercooler cannot take 300 bhp in a leon for a start. so you cant get 300 out of a map. the turbo may b capale of runnin 700 bhp but the rest of the
  4. and I've raced old shape scoobs and beaten them. and if you can keep up with a newer shape evo i.e 5-6 upwards then your runnin some serious power or person driving is a screwdriver. evos r in a completly different league
  5. all cars run different on different days. any thing can happen with turbo cars. i no there about the same around town when there both standard. you can only get so much power out of the 1.8 engine. sorry but if you can get 300 bhp out of a leon cupra r 225 with a exhaust and map im buyin 1 2moz... people spend thousands putin big turbo and ihi kits on them to get 330 bhp. and also depends whos drivin the car aswell... at end of the day starlets r fast for what they are and there are certain cars they will surprisingly keep up with...you cant ask some 1 if a starlet will keep up because every c

  7. i raced my m8s cupra when it was standard and my glanza had cat back exhaust and they wer identical till around 90 and the cupra pulls. cupras have gold engines and thats wer it stops, the shell is a lot lighter than golfs so dont be thinkin there heavy. cupra r i would think you would struggle a bit with. but keep in mind you can get a 1.8 20v turbo remapped to 200 bhp easily and cheaply
  8. if i drive every day including going to work and going out at nyt i could do 80-100 a week in fuel. i usualy get bout 40-50 miles to a tenner
