As far as i'm aware the Audi Turbo conversion is 300bhp.

I spoke to Bernard the guy that does them before choosing Honda.

The reason i picked Honda is because of at the time they were not putting them into the S2.

If it is an Elise then you have had more work than just the above done as in the spoiler roof etc
The car started out life as an Elise. The previous owner fitted motorsport bodypanels (better than Exige panels IMO, since the rear clam is easily removed and the rear spoiler uprights connect to the chassis rather than clam).

I recently sold another car that started out life as an Elise with Motorsport panels for not much more than I paid for this car. Elises with Motorsport conversions are a great way of getting an Exige without paying a £5K premium.

The install was done by Bernard @ AutoTeknix and mapped at Emerald by Dave Walker. Here is the dyno plot CLICKY

Don't worry, I think yours is going to be plenty fast !

From memory, I think AutoTeknix are working on a 380/390bhp conversion.. that's going to be stupid, near 500bhp/tonne.

Dave Walker is a mapping guru so it should be very nice to drive. Driven a couple of cars mapped by him and they have always been spot on.

I also have an Audi 1.8t Elise. Mine is a little less powerful as it uses the standard KE04 turbo. Power is 262bhp and torque 279lb. There are currently 16 S1 Elises and one S2 owned by a guy call Matt Cummings.

Trust me, the performance of these cars is quite incredible. It's also remarkably unscary to drive with no real turbo lag. I have done a bit of datalogging and these were the in gear acceleration times for mine:

2nd gear from 20mph:

30.0 in 0.89s
40.0 in 1.52s
50.0 in 2.31s

3nd gear from 20mph to:

30.0 in 1.57s
40.0 in 2.53s
50.0 in 3.34s
60.0 in 4.22s
70.0 in 5.19s

4th gear from 20 mph to:

30.0 in 2.29s
40.0 in 3.69s
50.0 in 4.77s
60.0in 5.87s
70.0 in 7.02s
