The boosted boys put 240bhp through them just fine mines done 93k it's still going strong give it a fair bit of abuse too. Have a friend that's put gti6 cams inlet mani full exhaust sys and a couple other bits didn't seem worth the trouble imo if your going to get it mapped with all the bits would help but after all the money and time spent might as well brought a 6.stainless cat back and piper cross forced induction FTW. |

Is it the MA gearbox in the XSI? In which case its much worse than the one in the GTI 6.Yours is a phase 3 by the look of it. GTI 6 cams and inlet manifold apparently make a difference on the XSI. But for the cost and effort you really would be better off selling up and buying a 6. ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

Mind you, I remember the days of the tow-burnout competitions opposite maccy's in the green frog car park. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Imo get a gti 6 off here or on ebay for a grand in the same diablo colour. The money you would spend modding that alien car thing you call a (xsi) would buy you a 6 anyway. But good luck :-)________________________________________ cherry p1.....SOLD (regreting this)blaze p2.....why did i buy this SOLD Black p3  |
