280 sounds a bit low for a GT28.

dont myself!!...just saw the car advertised,didnt know anybody had done so much on a car over here!!....what should it be? wouldnt you need to change all the running gear to cope with all the xtra stress?

ps.....if you remap a furby RS what do you get it up to?...have just spotted one up in the north (ireland) putting out 185hp

Is that all? :D

what is what all?? for a furby or octy with T 28?!!....didnt think that a furby got up that far from a standard 130hp.....god if only we werent crippled with VRT..id have one in a heart beat!!....just worked out what the VRT is on a furby from the uk.....only five thousand euro over and above the seventeen it would cost!!!!:(

k:)

130PDs go to about 200 so I am informed by my friend :D

An Octy with a GT28 I'd be looking 350 and up :D

Do you have shiite fuel over there?

About 15bhp then the turbo came in, the wheels slipped and the dyno stopped working.

Anyone got a hub-dyno ? :rofl:

It should be fine on a decent dyno assuming there is no problem with the wheel alignment on the car. I've seen plenty of cars with similar power and more to what Des will be running get measured on a dyno without incident.

I've seen a stripped out R5 GTT pushing 300+bhp on a rolling road and only suffered from grip when it hit full boost and tried to leap out of the rollers... a few extra straps and away it went.

I know of a REVO'd furby RS in Dublin thats looking for a new owner...

Hi Lads,

The car in cbg is mine. I am selling it as I am considering going abroad. I put the atp turbo on the car it is the gt28, I however have not changed my injectors so I didnt want to push any more hp out of her. It is 250 bhp to the wheels. It is a seariously quick car now, a real sleeper. I tried to tell the lads on vagdriver that the car is quicker than stis or evos in a straight line but got slated. The car is mint and fully serviced. My contact number is 086-6016344 if anyone is interested. Gaff when is the next meet!! Cheers

Steve
