The c. 400bhp/600Nm 9-5 is now for sale if anyone fancies taking on a less German project...
Open to offers around the £5500 mark, but it's worth having a chat and a look at the car before we even think about talking money.

It's running really well, boost is well controlled and delivers peak Mair of 1820 mg/c and holding on to 1600+ at 5500rpm, 1500+ at 6000rpm.
Although I've not dynoed it since the last round of surgery and Karl's last mapping session, it's got to be delivering around 400bhp with that air mass, and 580-600Nm of torque.
There are a couple of things that need sorting that I'd be happy to discuss if anyone is interested
