GTI6 engine conversion

gerbil wrote:I was being sarcastic about the 10bhp bit

haha, it not like the bosch fuel pump td conversion which gives 25bhp lol.

At least 25 bhp if not 40 according to one person on 306.net, whos stage 1 with a bosch and gt15 gave them 130bhp at least...

RR said 108 LOLZZ

sumfing has just occured to me only just reaslied theres no alternator on the gti6 engine and i aint taken it off!

D'oh. On the plus side, it's weight saving and less power drain
