Edition 30s & ~360bhp
« on: April 17, 2011, 06:30:56 pm »
I've done a search on this but can't find much. What are these cars like with this much horse power? Are there any modifications that are recommended to accompany such a hike in power and torque? I would imagine they light the front wheels up very easily!

Thanks

George

I would have thought you would just knock the timing back a bit with the map. I know shark performance does 95 ron maps. A lad on here just had his gti done with a 95 ron map at a place in slough, so wouldnt have thought you would have any rpoblems :happy2:
