welcome to the club lolget some pics up there is not an awfull lot you can do to the engine to make it better without spending £££'s on itb/turbo or supercharger. and if you ever plan to do the later two upgraded suspension and brakes and it will be perfect. strip it out? lol this makes a fair bit of differnece. has the car got any mods already? or is it completely standard? ________________________________________ 1997 blaze GTI-6 bought january '11 £800 Spend to date on parts £827.88 |

Before you start putting more power through the car, I would suggest looking first at Suspension, Brake upgrades then a Low Boost Supercharger to start? or Jump straight to High Boost. Speak to Rich_W on the supercharger front. |

3 years . I thought you had just bought it and managed to spend £4k staright away without buying a SC. That would have to have been a very special 6 Also if cash flow is not a problem, can you lend me a couple of grand and i'll pay you back next julaugust  ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |
