As far as I know Ko3s turbos normally make 230-240bhp with the usual mods and a decent
remap, thats as far as I can help you to be honest, it will be fast put it that way haha :)

You post at 1.25am and then reply to your own thread at 1.52am because nobody has answerd ffs give people a chance.

Yes roughly 240bhp maybe a tad more with the 001.

Please stick to your CORSA and stay clear of the cupra.:)

Power sounds about right, probably between 220-240ish bhp. It'll be quick but wont be seriously fast, if you want one that is you need to buy mine ;)

I was referring to his last sentence, of staying clear of the cupra. Don't understand why...

especially comparing it to a vauxhal :blink: and a Corsa at that :wtf:

but maybe we're getting into personal preferences now.

Mine was on pistonheads, ebay, gumtree and locally advertised and took 4 months to sell!!!

Be willing to take lower offers though dude as people are gona try and run you for your money with the state of this economy at the moment.

I had mine up for 4900 in november and took 4400 in feb :( but was still better than nothing

The cupra you mentioned in your first post sound like Ryans (Mr_D) which i know is a very nice car, lots of mods and money spent on it, very clean too, my old ECU on that car too :D

5k for a sri corsa? it must be up in the year for that money.

Ahhh your the cupra thats down bridgend on the weekends arnt you? :)
looks very nice mate.

I know it is quite alot for an SRi... on piston heads they go for around 4k to 4,5k standard.
Mines not standard, the inlet im running costs £1200 new then the 4branch was £450 plus the coilovers, smooth boot irmsher grill, white SRi's and other bits and bobs, Its only got 42k on the clock too :)

It is ryans (mr_d's) car in question. Having worked on this car with him i can safely say its been well looked after and will do you proud.


Yes... this is Ryans car, He was on about his friend with a skyline. So im guessing its you hes talking about :p

He took me and my friend out in it, and i loved it from the bigging! :drool:

Maybe i read a little to much into the corsa thing, tarring all the oweners with the same boy racer brush.

It was more of a ploy to keep the good name of theh IBIZA CUPRA. :)

Can you tell im considering keeping it now its running well again ;)

thats the spirit benny. With your absolutely mint cupra i still think you'd be a fool selling it. Absolutely love the car mate!
