1st things 1st, you haven't got 218bhp, however the car probably has a printout from jabbasport.. 

secondly if you want to charge your car its gonna cost you around 4 grand seen as you won't be doing the job yourself!!

Lastly, the reason everyone is poking fun at you is because of your willingness to hold onto that bhp figure of 218bhp!!
with the mods done to your car its a simple fact it would not make that figure unless you believe the old " 10bhp for filter, 15bp
for exhaust, 10 bhp for decat etc etc"

My advice to you is to just disregard the 218bhp figure and absorb the tips these guys give you without thinking its a personal attack!!
No ones out to have a dig at you we are all just realists!! Hope you achieve what you are looking for with your car though!!

Not being funny but if the original op is not sure what mods the car has then you cannot say that the car is not achieving 218bhp. A lot of mods (i.e. chips) cannot be seen and would increase the bhp. The safest way to end the debate is to try a different rolling road but no one can say the car is not running 218bhp without either thoroughly examining the car or knowing what has been done.

If you read the entire thread the op states he does not know what has been done and the list you saw was for the receipts he got with the car. There maybe other mods without receipts. I am not saying the car does run 218 or does not run it either, I am saying you cannot be certain as you have no knowledge of the car or what has been done. Personally, I do not believe the car is running 218 bhp but I would not tell the guy his car cannot be running it as I don't know that and neither do you !!!!

Lol I don't have a printout, I saw the screen as it was on the rollers, 3 runs 215bhp 221bhp and 218 bhp  so I just went with the middle one ? If this car is not really hitting 218bhp, due to an inaccurate machine then so be it! I will get it back at a different rolling road in a couple of weeks and we will see, if it is alot lower than 218bhp I won't be upset lol I will take it on the chin and smile anyway as the car performs very well ! If however it is 218bhp or more we can all say ok and move on and I will secretly have a big f@@k off smile on my face lol ! Anyway thank u all for the advise ! Greatly appreciated

Out of interest, where was the rolling road?

I think the reason he asked was because there are certain well known companies that have set up there rollers to purposely over-read.

As for supercharging yes it is gonna cost about £4000 grand for a drive in drive out job. Personally if i were going to spend that much money then i'd go for a turbo set-up, this leaves alot of room to increase power later.

Hahaha I am NOT surprised that this car has come from my neck of the woods
How embarassing :'( HID's are the "thing" here!
Good luck with the build !
