|  Engine mods What exactly do you need to do to break the 200bhp barrier? What sort of 0-60 times is anyone with 200+ bhp getting and is it much sorer on desiel? So far iv been thinkin uprated tubro(of some kind?????), forge intercooler, remap, sachs racing clutch, miltek exhaust system...... what else do you need to upgrade? cheers for all the advice.... ino it may not be cost effective modding a vrs so much but its so much fun beating other cars when you in a fabia because ino im the only one round here under 60 that drives one lol  |

| Re: Engine mods what sort of turbo are you looking at getting? Do you have sumthing similar done yourself? i asume the change from the standard 130bhp to 200bhp is quite significant? |

| Re: Engine mods From my knowledge. Either a VT2 turbo from Allard or a Turbo Dynamics turbo is required. Personally i'd be looking at a Helix clutch with a SMF flywheel if going for 200 bhp + Forge / pro alloy / allard FMIC Uprated exhaust Miltek / Blueflame along with either sports cat or decat. Custom Remap at the end. Remember you will need to look at handling and the brakes. 312mm brakes off a octy / audi tt will suffice Then what ever you wish handling wise

his wasn't even a vrs when it started and to be pushing 260bhp is some great effort

| Re: Engine mods exactly as others say but yeah you will need bigger brakes and not nessesary but the suspension is a good idea aswell  your looking at around 5k "here or there " to do most of that

| Re: Engine mods Different diff wouldnt go a miss to get the power down. Heard some talk about a SMF that doesnt chatter (do a search). ARB and Brakes is a must, no point having 200+bhp if you cant get it round a corner! Trimming the weight of your fabia is a goosd idea if you want a good 0-60 time. Get a ERG blanking plate/replacement tube bypass jobby. (again, search for guides). HTH
