Top end I have no idea because I've never changed the HDI fuel pump and it drinks more then it can pump. Have an 1800 16v pump to hopefully fit in it. Car gets started every 3/4 months and never a problem. Been off the road 18 months or so due to me not bothering with it and having another 13 cars to "tinker with" in between. Don't know whether to sell it or keep it. Unfortunately only got 1 car garaged, everything else is outside which rather sucks from being in a barn with space for 10 or more that I had until last year.
The 1.8 16v Pump is fine, that is what is in mine.
After a week of runing it about i have had a couple of issues.
1 a boost pipe burst- Sent the company i bought it from a snotagram and to be fair they have been good and are sending out another pipe.
2 I have had to turn the turbo boost down as when you floor it in 6th on the motrway it hits the safety cut out.- Need a Vems
The 6 box is great although not too good for the motorway as at 60mph its revving just under 3000 rpm, but will cruise well at 55mph.
The cooling system is working well and seldome goes over midway, if it does i have the fan overide switch in place.
The brembos are squeeling their nuts off, still working on this one
Apart from that all seems well, and its serious fun, ok it wont kill evo's etc, but it does turn heads when you get the turbo flutter and the look of wtf is that.
Thinking of selling it on in a couple of months though as i am devorcing and probalbly wont be able to keep it. (Fecking Women)
