Question: hi again alan, the audi i have is the 1989 2ltr 8v. i\'ve been told that u have worked on it before, back in january this year.
Answer: They normally put out around 115 bhp on our dyno. It's possible to tune these, although you'd need to spend around £1300 or so for the necessary head work and camshaft change needed to make much difference.

Question: As you may recall, back in \'86 or thereabouts Robin Rew had a handful of Reliant Scimitar SS1s fitted with a Turbo Technics turbo (as far as I know, only onto the Ford 1.6 CVH engined version, as the Nissan-engined 1.8 turbo was just around the corner and rendered the conversion superflous). Having found one of these rare gems, with the turbo seemingly in surprisingly good condition, is it worth having a specialist give it a good looking at and/or what should I pay special attention to on this 25 year old unit to extend its life a bit further?
Answer: Hi Jimbo - I wouldn't see any particular problem with running that car. The turbo is most likely a T3, and easily dealt with. We could overhaul it for £200 plus vat, or supply a new one from around £350 plus vat. We would be happy to help you maintain the car, be it hands on or just free advice.

Question: Hi, After driving a 380hp 2.0l newage sti I\'m interested in how to achieve 380hp on my 2003 sti ppp\'d car, I want a very drivable road car with torque everywhere. Also a drive in-out price. cheers Dave
Answer: Hi Dave - With a 2 litre car, there's always a small sacrifice to make if you are seeking high power. The route to torque with power is to fit a 2.5 motor, or at least stroke your engine to 2.1. Assuming that's a step too far, the compromise isn't too bad if you choose the correct turbo. We can recommend an MD500 series unit, which we can specify to suit your purpose. Sticking with your top mount intercooler, and using RCM headers and uprated injectors, we can meet your target remapping using Ecutek software. You would also need a decat or sports cat downpipe. Price from £3250 inc vat for the above, drive in drive out with a smile!
