Nice colour......... and that exhaust, that's some bit of kit! 330bhp, crikey, not surprised the head gasket complained. .

Thanks for your interest. Most info on ebay listing including MOT' miles.
Clean title, simple mechanical (gasket) failure 1/2 mile from my mechanic, 2.3T engine remapped (chipped) cpu by previous owner.
I'm away from the car now I'm sure they were 18" but could be thinking of another vehicle. I'll check as soon as I can.
Very low miles since I bought it.And serviced regularly.

interested to know how someone can chip a car and add 90bhp without changing any OE equipment.

Any printouts to prove this figure?

A 16T turbo can barely do 290bhp and heatsoaks like a mofo.

Sorry but I'm dubious as it doesn't add up, which is a shame as I was expecting a fair list of mods.

330bhp from a remap?........ Put your wellies on boys the bull poo is gonna be thick here.

Sorry to diverge - but I wondered how much a Stage 1 software upgrade/remap added in bhp terms to a B5234T3? Am I correct in saying around 15?

Stages are for ballet dancers, not cars ;)

a remap on a stock one of these is roughly a gain of 25-40 bhp depending on component condition etc. (ignition bits/turbo) but every car will be different.

also results will be different in its Me7 application as that has a different exhaust housing, runs COP and has single VVT, aswell as slightly higher fuel pressure.

definitely not 90 though, that would demand mods.
