John oh wise one.

Just putting some thoughts in a pot, stirring it and seeing what comes out.....and its not realistic as i have no real funds at the moment.

but wondering what i could do next performance wise with my bug.

its a 2003 1.8t (159bhp & 175lb/ft) -> bailey dv & jabba remap (220bhp & 234lb/ft) - done may05

since this added a full turbo cat back miltek system (oct06) and just this weekend the pipercross viper cold air induction kit. so we are talking maybe 240ish bhp.

whats next? :)

Why do you want to upgrade it if your only doing it for Dan to drive :chinsconfuseled:

As with coming out, i'll leave that for you two :eek:

Realistically next, well I'd say of course it's dependant on the long term budget, but it would involve a change in turbo ideally :)

Sounds interesting :)

What are the options ?

Are there different sizes of Turbo's ?

Would adding one of these mean you would need to upgrade the exhaust too ?

Give me a lesson, i should be doing Uni work but this is far more refreshing ;)
