    there are a few differences between the 180bhp and 225bhp engines. couple being the pistons and turbo, so you need to be careful with tuning these. the cluth and fly wheel cannot handle much more than standard torque even if the standard injectors can

    As if anything except the cylinder block on the 1.8 engine is going to be ok at 500hp.

    They are nice medium sized car for what it is, more interesting than settling for a focus or Astra.

    erm i can vouch for seb2's beating these. I was in todds when his was seb2. we had a lil showdown with one up lakeside and quite frankly, todd was pulling on it, only till the numpty missed a gear ;] even then he still held onto it, and on my own experiance, i pushed one up the a2 past bluewater, he even moved over for me lol

    u can now uprate the clutches doing away with the dual mass flywheel, which handles the torque fine so ive been informed.

    Why bother with seb2 at 14psi when you can run that on standard map lol. Seb2 should be run at 17/18psi
