2.0 agg 70k
lightened balanced flywheel circa 30% reduction

the thing is, day to day, the car is so good to drive. will pootle around at 30 in 5th all day long. pull up hills in 5th. will give good economy, and will pull in a linear way up to its 6.5k limiter. it has a real good amount of torque
i know the 16v ia a different animal. has to be revved to get the power out of it. so it worries me it was be as versitile as my 8v. and be alot heavier on the go go juice! but sound fantastic full chat at 7k!
iv read ess_three's thread. so it looks like with my piperx filter, ported ex mani, no cat and jetex system il be circa 165hp. running a 020 box with shorter ratio's than an 02a. lightened fly, in a lighter car!
id really like to see 180 and good torque
