There's currently a VW Golf 1.8T (1999) for sale on eBay here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2498132430
Considering he is advertising it as easily over 220bhp (without even having it on a rolling road!!) I emailed him and told him that would not be the case as its a Non DBW with a K03 turbo.
I sent him this "Being a 1999 model so with a Non DBW and K03 turbo (unless you swapped it for a K03sport), how can it possibly be running over 195bhp? To hit 220plus you will need at least a K03sport turbo. Gary"
He replied "Hi there gary! There is no such turbo as a ko3 sport there is only a k04 turbo ??? Also i have said i have not had this rolling roaded!! chipping this vehicle takes the car to between 200-210 bhp alon with standard turbo and also taking the cat off a turbo car, filter and exhaust etc will give 10bhp!! it has been tested again my mates cossie which is standard 230bhp and it keeps up so i suggest who told u about thsi 195bhp lark is talking ballmale chickens! Cheers Paul"
