I have changed my engine to the 2.4T5. I have the same modifications as Burchi except I have a custom map from MTE. my car now has the stronger engine. My last R/R map shows 376bhp running 1.2 bar boost. Since then I have fitted a Forge actuator so now I am holding 1.5 bar. This just goes to show that you will not loose any power by dropping that 100cc

I have seen burchi's car and followed the progress of all the modifications he has done. I know nothing has been overlooked. I can reccomend this car to anyone.

I would recommend Burchi removes the RTMechanics number plates as this would/should put off any prospective buyer from shelling out their hard earned cash..

Lol. When I said I have changed my engine I actually ment I just paid for it to be done. I have no mechanical skills at all. Tim Williams does ALL my mods. Next time I will say WE have done this. Ha Ha


At least I know to stay clear of RT

Looking at other cars for sale, albeit still very hard to find a nice manual one of these, I can see the price of mine was too high... Reducing by £1,000!

Looking for £5,250 ONO for it now. Hopefully that is nearer the right mark for it.

Cheers
