That with a nice little T2 will provide a quick and responsive little car.

You dont need massive power in a car like that, cant wait to see it all done and out on track hassling a scoob or 2

James your car looks like a weapon, are you running std. compression ratio's,and what boost levels do you run?
Also 200bhp? is this a conservative guess as I would think that you might see a little more maybe?
I am interested as we have a customer who has one of these (51plate mark 2 version tho.) and his car keeps up with most scoobs up to a UK WRX etc. Its not turbo'ed but has around 180bhp, from exhaust manifold(tubed equal length) larger diameter pipe,induction kit, uprated cams,and chipped ecu.etc.
I would think your car would have substantially more.

well in therory it should be 220nhp is what i been told by the experts so will have wait and c

It does have lower compression due to the thicker head gasket, std one is about 1mm so the thick copper one is equal to 2 of them, its on 5psi at moment but will be wound up to 9 2morrow hopefully when the water injections is mapped in

Nice car, I had a 180 bhp Fiesta RS turbo a few years back and found it torque steered badly due to not having the LSD fitted gearbox unlike the escort which had one as standard. Does the Saxo have a LSD fitted and what sort of power to you expect the gearbox to cope with?.
A friend of mine had a Subaru P1 and had one of these turbo'd Saxo's behind him on the M5 and when he open the Subaru up the Saxo was stuck to his **** end much to his suprise. I much prefer the look of your Saxo to some of the ones I've seen with those stupid bodykits and spoilers. Once mapped it should be a well fun car and if you have dabble with a impreza tell us how it gets on.

Looks nice! I had a good few years with my old lowered VTR. Not bad cars, just a shame people mess them up with stick on parts.

Looks like it's been done well, any reason for the headers being different lengths?

was it running boddies? 60bhp seems a large jump for just a manifold, cams and remap, or were they mega wild cams?

That looks very clean and the engine bay looks immaculate.. I hope there aren't any Lexus Lights on the rear end though!!

I believe there are the black lexus lights if i remember correctly !

personally i think the standard rear lights on a saxo are the best !!
