    Blown turbo?

    wouldnt get a remap, too expensive for me atm. think the cooler and turbo turned up to the 1.2bar the 80's run would prob only gain me 5 bhp or so and the lag that comes wit the cooler. Not really any ways to gain power wit the dci's witout goin balls out that i know of Pete

    Blown turbo?

    yeh i know wot u mean, they need to b balanced perfectly or at the big speeds a small weight becomes huge. Aparently its lookin like 300 quid to get it fixed!! Cheaper to buy a 2nd hand or recon'd one! Pete

    Dimming lights

    General rule of thumb for power caps is 1 farad for 1000W peak. So 1 farad for 500W RMS roughly. Any use? I had a power cap in my old clio and i was runnin 3 amps, lights still flickered a bit but u could get a powercap and get a battery out of a derv clio. Would do the job perfect and b...
