dealer back in the day, rare as hell and crop up very occasionally on classifieds, but not normally car ones specifically, so like gumtree where some person is clearing out grandads garage who had one in their 1.2
I made 212bhp and 159lbft but from lower down with just 197 cams and injectors, 182 exhaust manifold and original spec RS2 inlet manifold. Total cost was under 2 grand with mapping etc
@Brigsy it is the same pace charge cooler, BBPT spec setup this same as mine was. I never had flow issues with the cooler and the very short boost circuit was decent for response etc, however it just didn't cool well enough for anything more than the occasional 1/4 mile squirt or dual...
Gave her a bath as was looking very sorry and didn't want Mick thinking he had a barn find on his hands come Monday
Fitted new drivers side mirror glass as heated element on old one was none functional and refurbished the wipers to make them a little more presentable.
