Genuine big BHP up grade found!

Post by HAIRIBO »

Wow guys, I can't believe it works, but I bought a cheap up grade for my 1.8 fitted it Saturday night and the power gain has to be at least. 25BHP! ! ! ! !

I'll post a photo of it tonight, :thumb

Guessing some sort of high speed fan installed in the air inlet trunking acting as a turbo? I was thinking of trying a similar thing on mine, but not sure if I'd have to fit an upgraded fuel pump or not...

You've gotta do some serious work to gain that much from a single injector to be honest... Something along the lines of higher pressure fuel pump and a cold air intake system, expensive HT leads and a few tweaks here and there maybe.

Fuel pump alone won't change anything!!! Just put the fuel around quicker...
It's going to be a few tins of soup sat on the block... Or... It's on tow :P
