Enjoy it and look after it cheers mate, i just hear it all the time.... your car wont do this, it wont do that and im getting sick of it... I was told my car made 400rwhp b4 i baught it and i dont doubt that.... ppl that have been in it can vouch. i wouldnt be pissed if i got 330-340, thats plenty enough for the street in a 1300kg car!

nice man!!! well done, you planning on getting it dynoed soon or??? by the sounds of it, you should be making over 400 at the rubber man!! good luck, p.s. tough rebuilt engine, forgies, fuel system, injectors, big turbo, boost it hard and you may be looking at 500rwhp man!!! its a 5spd, you should be able to pump over 22 - 24psi in it
