I went for a spin in a turbo BA yesterday with stock cooler, air box and piping and was shocked by how good it went. Owner said it had been tuned and had 310rwkw!

Dyno figures are notoriously unreliable, depending on shop/operator/weather/lunar cycle! Could also be a savage tune that smashes boost as fast as possible but can't put the power down properly. Stock cooler also heatsoaks badly on repeated runs or warm days but will be good for a stab here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't been run down the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
