I always wondered, they might be pretty tuneable with a turbo surely?But then also, would the 1.6 lump take the amount of s**t the average 6 user gives their XU10J4RS (a looked after one) and not fall apart?? ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!''

I agree with the 1.6 turbo worries A lot if citroen ds3r owners with the same engine have fecked their engines. Although its in a lot if cars that unit so it is pretty proven Its in the mini cooper s Ds3 Rcz Etcetc ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I read a statement from someone at Peugeot that the 208 GTI will not be as focussed as a Renaultsport due to the fact there is not the demand for them So it will be a soft 200bhp car that will get slated for not being focussed enough. ________________________________________ Wedding and portrait photography click here |
