scottybo Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 As far as I'm aware the main differences between the power outputs are injectors, turbo, ECU map and maybe intercooler size, can't remember exactly. There are some other differences over the years, but generally a 150bhp 1.8t motor can be upped to 200bhp+ with just bolt on parts from the higher output motors. Ideal, I'm guessing it is the Same engine that is in your Audi, what is the power on yours? Nah, mine is the 5-cylinder It's the same kind of motor I had bought for a conversion on my old blue coupe that I never did though. oooh yeah the one that cost you a rear window I remember that one now. Nice car fella! Well like I said still got to collect it (from Upper Clapton, Hackney) got to see if I can borrow my friends Kevlar vest. only a short walk from clapton station but it still could happen. i have a stabproof vest! my mum has it from when she was working nights as a doctor at the bournemouth hospital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan99940 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Update, Well yesterday I've never shat myself more than ever getting the train to London Victoria decent enough journey, Underground to Liverpool Street, smooth enough, Liverpool Street to Clapton EVERY SECOND my 4rse hole was getting tighter and twitching that little bit more, made even more worse (<--- just for you AHM) by the fact I had a pocket full of cash thinking I could get stabbed every minute, more to the point I came back unscathed and drove it home (rush hour through London was fun, Honest :-l ) drives very nicely pulls brilliantly after about 3k only downside I found out was that on a Motorway run the car (I'm solely blaming the car here) only managed 30.5 MPG, nether the less I was hardly expecting Eco miles from it. summary FOOKIN LOVE IT.

No, I drive a lightweight, efficient 2 litre! I only used to average 31-32mpg in the n/a version of the engine you have, so 30 with the turbo and your first drive is pretty good going!
