veedubdude Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Ive given up using the search button... I just cannot find the thread if its still on here! Around a year ago (ish, maybe longer??) there was thread put up about a yellow 1.4 16V lupo that had been turbo'd, with standalone management, and was running around 180bhp (i think?). It had small black five spoke splits on it too. Im after some info from the the thread... I thought the users name was 'jimbob'. But that could be a different username thats stuck in my head?Does anyone have a link to the thread???Cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Dub Jimbob's car was supercharged not turbocharged which is probably why you're struggling to find it!To my knowledge the only turbocharged car one the forum, with the exception of 20V 1.8T's is Tigz's car... but its still not finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veedubdude Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Ha just found it but you beat me to it! Thanks for the help anyway Could have sworn it was turbo, oh well! Trying to get my turbo back on track and was seeing whether he had used forged internals or not, amazingly 195bhp on standard 1.4 internals! Interesting...

Exhaust. Downpipe. Easy to tune turbo cars My friend has a Toledo 1.8t his was 180bhp, remapped it and gave him 219 just from remap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
