    120bhp@5500rpm and 175Nm@3300rpm. Not terribly much, but it is a relatively light car and the torque is very nice.

    Bosch LH 2.2 ECU

    Garett T2 turbo running at around 0.5 bar (a little less on the automatics).

    Tunable to around 160bhp, but then the clutch runs into problems and needs to be upgraded.

    Gearboxes are known to be troublesome on early models (oiling problem, fixed in later ones).

    Bye, Arno.

        > is it possible to fit a dump valve to a 440 turbo and where can i get it from??

        Sure you could, but why would you? It's running a pretty low pressure and a blowoff/dumpvalve is really only required if you run pretty high pressures.

        AFAIK does the LH2.2 also use an air-mass meter, so you would still have to feed the air you vent back into the system.

        Demon Tweeks in the UK probably sells them and you could rip out the external compressor bypass valve on the garett turbo and replace it with a blowoff. But it's not going to bring you much (if anything) at these low pressures.

        Go ahead if you want to put one in, but IMHO it's a waste of money.

        Bye, Arno.
