must be great fun to drive, 330bhp in car weighing what about 1150kgs
But traction must be an issue with all that power through the front wheels, but once moving i bet it shifts some !!

in fact the earliest AGU is supposed to be the strongest due some minor changes made to the later 150/180 engines and the 225
this seems to be proving true as my engine has over 110,000 miles on the clock, been running between 321 and 374 bhp for the past year and the internals haven't been touched

but saying this the 1.8t engine is a very strong engine out of the box in any guise, and is very under stressed in original spec.
