hey chaps....
at long last the scooby 1303s beetle 2.0L Turbo is running exactly how i want it so wanna take the chance to thank you guys for all your advice along the way.... would not have happened without you - fact!!!
put her on a rolling road this morning and achieved 255bhp at 5220rpm at 155mph obviously without wind resistance etc but nevertheless i am totally stoked and is an utter monster to drive!!
this stats make the conundrums and problems along the way all worth it even if at times it seemed like would have been easier to sell up and move on!!!
cheers
Dan
I hope to see you all at some of the shows this year and I will be loading some videos shortly to show you guys how she running......... |

Good to talk to you earlier and great news that you have a really good base set-up that works, always nice when it's an easy/free fix.
I wonder when you'll feel the need for more than 255bhp at the wheels!
Looking forward to a ride
