Hmmm,
the chipping/turbo changes to 200hp sounds good.... However if it really is 200hp, how come it claims exactly the same acceleration as a bog standard CX2500 GTi Turbo that has 168hp from the factory ??? Xantia probably weighs quite a bit less too.
I love to know where they get there power figures from.
Big bodykit == hidious

The power increase will be acheived by upping the boost, on a petrol turbo this isn't a good thing to do. You HAVE to get the compression ratio down too (new pistons / head work / thicker head gasket) if you want to have reasonable engine life.

Is it just a bad quality pic (pic 1) or could you really grate cheese on that bonnet paint finish? (compare it to the tops of the wings)
"maximum attack????" oh pleeeeeease. More like "maximum Cack"
Where do these people come from?

I think its a bad photo or light or both as the windscreen is the same.
As for grating cheese on paint finish,
maybe not on paint but you could on those vents at the back of bonnet!
