Sorry to bring citroens onto a skoda site but did citroen ever produce a C2 with a petrol turbo lump?

After i recently changed one of my facebook pictures to one of my octavia, a work collaegue decided to strum up a conversation with me about his car. He was prattling on about how his C2 is remapped to 210bhp which i said thats alot for a 1.6HDi but apparently its a petrol VTS?

Now i like cars but i will be honest... Citroens do not entertain me so ive never bothered looking at them.. But im sure i would of heard about a turbo'ed C2. The petrol Vts is 125bhp i believe and i cant find reference to a turbo engine.

Im just curious if i was been bullploped to....

I had a 1.6i 16v VTR Sensodrive and loved it.  No turbo though.

 there was a Tuner that did a Turbo Conversion.

I liked the C2 GT versions.

I had a 1.4sx C2 and there was the VTR and VTS models also, which had 1.6litre engines, but like you said, no turbos. I used to be on a C2 forum where the most people usually used to get from them was about 150bhp but that was with new cans and everything. Highly doubt he's got anywhere near 200+bhp.

Is that the ad slotted in between Broadchurch? 

Sound track sampled from Jefferson Airplane - oooooh so trippy man!

In short - no, most of them were petrol, but normally aspirated - 1.1, 1.4 and 1.6 petrols. A much smaller number of diesel cars were made (mostly with the iffy 1.4HDi lump), though a few exist with 1.6HDilumps crowbarred into them, and the same 1.4 diesel engine was used in the C2 Enterprise van configuration.

I'm going to question his car in more detail tonight in work and his so called subaru slaying abilities in it.

I'd imagine a 200bhp c2 would fly and be something i'd know about which is why i asked

The C2 is a very popular car for modding, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that someone has squeezed either a petrol turbo engine in there or the 200bhp 1.6 lump (still not a turbo) from the C4. I've even seen one with a rear-mounted V6 engine.

However, they never left the factory with a turbo petrol engine fitted, and definitely not one that powerful.

I have my doubts its had a turbo or engine conversion but you never know eh.

He also claimed he can tune it himself and turn the turbo up on his laptop.. Although not impossible you'd need a turbo first. Gonna ask to look under the "hood"

Just race him (on your private race track of course) and when you beat him, say you remapped your car and removed your spare wheel and it's producing 400bhp.

But i dont own a racetrack and i dont wanna race the guy just want to call him a bullsniffer

I bought a GT new back in 2004 and had it for two years.  It was a cracking car.  We went to the Alps in it twice, it took a lot of spirited driving on the Moors of North Yorkshire and it never missed a beat.  In the two years we had it  I only topped up the windscreen wash and that's it.  The service intervals were 20k so when it was traded in (for my Octavia vRS) it had cost very little to run at all and I was sad to see it go to be honest.

 

As for the original question, have a look at this.

I saw this car at the Big Breakfast meeting in Malton a while back.  Mental.

 

edit - The original Evo was putting out 316 at the wheels so I can imagine it's a bit rapid.

I had a C2 too. For a fortnight, the auto box kept freezing and left me with no choice but to hand it back. Shame because the rest of it was a nice car, 1.6 non turbo though.

Ah, the Sensodrive box.  It was also known as the Sensosh*te on the C2 forum.  Luckily the GT was a manual box.

I would have one again if i found a good one cheap..

I am just away to scrap my 1.4 Auto Citroen Saxo at the end of the month, owned it from new in 2001 and it has only done 

57,000 miles.  Its brakes are as bad now as they were 14 years ago.

It would pass another MOT, but i think its just a little past it now for safety sake.

No forced induction...

125-130 standard for the 16V VTS, about 160 with throttle bodies and sympathetic induction/exhaust.

210 is wet dream land. Though as shown on here, sometimes tuners' old cars end up in muggles(es) hands.
