no - the difference is between the rolling roads.  The 190bhp figure was derived when the current rolling road at R-Tech was running different software which calculated the figures differently.  They changed it back to an older version as it gives more accurate results which have been proven when stock powered cars have run on their road  :nerd:

Do you know what sort of figures i'd be looking at with a map?

Rhys has 130 - Map - 179 bhp and a shed load of torque  :evil:

Get it right Rich

182bhp and 344lbs ft torque

Hoping to extract some more this Friday  :wink:


What a horrid power delivery, though!  :P  :D

Much prefer the smoother, linear power delivery & higher revving of the 1.8 T!  :smug:

227 bhp & 259 lb/ft torque:

It was put back to stage 1 (), so no contest there.  :(

New machine could be interesting, though!  :evil:  :smug:

Maybe, just maybe, Rich!!!  :o

The potential lure of 450 Nm (332 lb/ft) torque, 212 bhp & 45-50 mpg maybe too great a tractor-beam to resist!  :cry:
