Looks superb Alastair, the VW and the VX 220 don't look bad either, what sort of power are you expecting from the dyno run

Thanks,

Vx is everyday motor not had it long it's abit of a compromise though in terms of comfort

Power wise not fussed, it has been on the engine dyno and did just over 300 but I'd rather it just stay in one piece and everthing work

Looks superb, really tidy

Let us know how the rollers work out (and yes, it's not the most comfortable feeling seeing your car ragged to the limit on the rollers).

Thats a shame Alastair, did you get any power figures before the failure of the mount.

Yes,

5.5 psi made 235 at flywheel

7.0 psi made 250 at flywheel

So good power at low boost pressure for a 1.6 I think

Making peak power at 7.8k too which is what I wanted it right up the rev range like a n/a motor
