there is one thing tho..lens 16v gave 162bhp i believe and that hadn't had any real work done..so the figure is believable to me
(oh and the rolling road might of helped..in my old days I had a car set up when superchipped and it gave 156bhp but a week later at a different place it gave 148bhp)

I can believe the figure from a 16v but this is an 8v.

I know my old 8v gave 122bhp standard (so I believe if its had work done the power is possible)

Thats a lot of performance even with those mods.
I think most rolling roads are a bit optimistic, keeps the punters happy  :grin:
