HEY!!! Great to see another South African!! Nice car! What kind of performance are we looking at in terms of kw and torque?
Thanks! The Power is 191kw and the Torque is 350Nm but this car pulls like it's on steroids! Have you posted pics of your car?

Very nice, I found your pics (knew I'd seen CFM plates on one of the pages), have you seen the pics I posted of my 2001 S60 2.4T, also with 18's on it? I colour coded the bumpers, side sills and mirrors, made such a big difference.

I need to spend a bit of time tidying her up, back arches are almost shot through, and she doesn't like to idle on a cold morning. T-cut this weekend and try and get her up on a pit for a good shufty.

Excuse the poor camera-phone pics

In Europe we have some other engines too.
