thats a bit different than a filter and exhaust then isnt it    :grin:

why mention your power when the discussion is about a standard 8v kjet vs digi 8v? can you see where the confusion has come from?


you 8v owners, i don't know   :rolleyes: :tongue:

8v is the best?



Everyones entitled their own opinion, even if it is wrong... :grin:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

0% transmission losses FTW.
...That's why it feels quicker than the Digifant, which needs to process the incoming data before it acts on it.

Im not too sure about this, have you got any info to back this up?
I think the processing time would be somewhere in the thousandths of seconds i.e. negligible.

i put a mk3 2.0 8v into my mk2, completely standard except an induction kit (airbox didnt fit on wing and was rubbing alternator belt), although am still on the 1.8 driver gearbox.

we did a club convoy from portsmouth to guildford for no rice last wed eve...

1st (although its a useless gear) 2nd and 3rd gear i pushed my mates abf ibiza out the way,couldnt catch me til halfway through 4th. have never put it on a rolling road, and dont particularly care if it aint set up right, if it can keep an abf at bay up to 4th, im a happy man!

so, 16v can kiss my 8v arse!!
