Hi Russ

Welcome to the site :thumb:

I see you drive a T5 (one of my favourites cars owned. How do you use the car (other than AtoB)? We're quite big on trackdays, quarter miles etc....
Tell us a little more about yourself and the car.

Cheers

Stu

13 second quarter? Good luck with the traction! Mine also had slightly higher boost, never got around to the decat, infact never got around to doing too much at all. My mrs always complained about the dog getting slung around too much in the back as it was :lol:

Get some photos up in 'your cars'

Hello and Welcome Russ

Nice to see some Swedish metal on the forum - have you looked up http://www.bsr-tuning.eu/products//t543/ - I used the PPC upgrade on a Saab 93 Aero - put the output up to approx 250bhp (205bhp std) so I ended up with 15bhp over a Viggen :evil:

Did your hound look like this Stu?? :lol:
