The posts on the GTi-6 forum have plenty of pics..

 

TBH, Kit looks VERY well made - wouldn't imagine that there is much profit in the £1200....

Have a good read of the topic there are load's of little bits that soon add up that come with the kit so it is good value. And i will get to see/drive one soon as a friend has got one

yer i no its a good proffesional kit but his figers are a bit hi for a standard engine 250bph with standard engine it will just blow up. i was wonting to put some think like an eaton charger on mine and just run low boost io only wont 210hp maybe 220hp

indeed Alex!

 

the engine in question has been modified quite extensively, although it has only recently had an uprated clutch fitted, the standard one coped quite admirably due to such a linear torque and power delivery.

 

the kit is very well made and finished if a little agricultural, but his attention to detail is pretty good and agricultural doesn't mean it'll fail!

 

I've yet to see exactly what power levels are attainable from standard pistons, but 250 bhp shouldn't be out of the question as intake temps are quite a bit lower than a turbo, good mapping is the key, the engine of the guy in question has hit 400 bhp reliably.

yer im not saying you carnt get 400hp but you will need to aprate pistons,rods ect
