You can if its insured and you have the code on the letter, but the disc will go to the prev keeper

Pretty sure you need to start using 98ron though?

I would hope someone buying and modifying such a car would be using that as a matter of course

Cheers chap.

Was lovely to drive home .. 225bhp along with a very useable gearbox will do me nicely over summer.

I quite like the grey bumpers .. just a shame they're patchy.

A remap would be good but i'm convinced there's cheaper power to be had by servicing and replacing sensors. Apparently MAF sensors can knock of a fair bit of power plus it's due a service anyway.

But yes, after that, a straight through, panel filter and remap should see me to around 300bhp.

Adverts gone so I can't see what you've got, but assuming its got my engine it.

MAF clean will aid running.

Any more than 260 hp will see you with clutch slip in high gears/low revs.

CAIS, larger intercooler, map, downpipe and sports cat will see 300hp + 380ft.

Its a dreamy engine. Five pots sound immense.

Yes mate.

Thanks for that Karl, yeah it's a T5 GLT, 5cyl 2,319cc and a 15T turbo.

Will be looking to service and sort lambda light issue (possibly MAF or boost leak) before going mad with the mods.

Will that not be a bit of a pig to drive? A guy I work with had a t4 and its understeer heaven.

Yeah it's a bit understeery, no chance of keeping traction in boost for the first couple of gears.

Not too bothered just yet, need to get it in good mechanical condition before I start modifying haha. Bit scared to drive it too fast just yet.
