Check on "Boney the Golfless Bradleys" web page, a gold mine of info from when he was in the "tug squad"

Are the AGG Engines better?

Possibly the worst all rounder!  :lipsrsealed:


It was the 1995 emmision regualtions engine (less emmisions less performance..2e's are best and more tunable due to the bosch injection)

injection on the ady and agg is the same but the 2e uses bosch injection which seems to be much more reliable and easier to set up then the simos system
