VR6SC - 292 BHP + 260 FT LB
1.8T BAM - 285 BHP + 300+ FT LB - All guess work but the mods I am looking at look about right if that makes sense?

I'd change the LUK clutch for a Sachs and get the flywheel lightened and balanced.  :wink:

All that chat about ignition timing and no mention of knock sensors.

Don't talk about what the ECU can't do.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
