I'd say at least 35! If you went for the chrome plated chav specials that releases an extra 45 bhp! :biggrin3:

How many torques do you think you got out of it?

It's difficult to judge but at this stage I would say at least an additional 300lbft (being conservative). You can feel it most in 2nd between 9 and 14,000 RPM, the best way to describe it is to imagine a 1991 Astra GSI (2.0 not the 1.8 of course) being dropped from the back of a Hercules at 20,000ft with a cocktail umbrella for a parachute and you will be pretty close.

In that case P_G, I think your best option is a trip to halfrauds for a shiny GTi badge. That should do the trick. :bigblink:

Completely de-badging gives you more torque. Fact.
No matter where you go, there you are.

I think you get more torque with certain colours too :nogarors4: :redrs4: :blackrs4: :jump:

Of course! All blues have more torque, especially Sepang.

You're wrong. More badges make it go faster. An RS Turbo badge will knock 1 second off your 0-60 time.

And there's no need for me to say what a V8 badge can add! Or even a V10 one.

It wouldn't be responsible of me to promote this any further; I can not and will not be held responsible for invalidating forum members insurance policies and warranties.

I'm note sure about this one - but I do know that those Astra GTEs were faster when they put the bigger battery in - you know - the one with the 16v badge?
