off to the garage in the morning then see what my mechanic reckons!
Hopefully he will have the necessary gauges!

got to be worth a go for 15-20 stallions!

what do reckon I'll get with the flowed head and cams?

its hard to say. to be honest its best getting setting up the WUR on a rolling road that way you can get the fuelling just right for your head.

u should be talking about 170-180bhp outta 1.8 16v with good head & cams

the heads been done by supposedly one of the best in the business, didn't know this when I bought!

the cams are 264 pipers, no vernier pulley though (yet!)

will get it done, i've got the spare WUR if have probs anyway!

then will have to get it on the rollers, sure there is one about 40 miles away thats about the closest!

cheers

Warm Up Regulator (or valve) :wink:

it controls the fuel pressure to ease cold starts
