What else have you done to your car?

I have done modified air box with K&N filter, Magnex exhaust and ported throttle body and along with a new chip most I have ever got is 155bhp

So dont expect 9bhp out the box with nothing else done.
I does make the car more driveable though.

Len - is yours a 16v or an 8v? Aren't 16vs 150hp stock anyway?

Yes 16v.

Yes some horses may well of escaped over the years.
Bought the car in Feb 2003 with 98000 miles on it.
Approx a 18 months later it went on its first RR with just a K&N filter fitted and gave 152bhp
Now with mods as stated above and 148000 miles its around 155bhp.

Just dont expect miracles!

All I'm saying is JKM's dyno is known as the heartbreaker, and it certainly lives up to it's expectations whenever I've attended a rolling road day there. There's always a handful that get far less than they expected.

I lost 3hp on my last one, but I know where they've gone, so for the next one (in feb, check events section if you're interested) I know where to improve in.
