Cossie engines seem to have been designed to produce big power, the experts can be found on:

Chris,

My last one was a green top and was standard when I got it....but then that all changed

Stage 1, is very cheap to do and involves a chip and -31 actuator which supplied and fitted should cost you no more that £100-150. This will get you up to 270'ish..

Good tuners that know what there talking about and are few and far between. Whereabouts are you?

Hope this helps.....

Theres a few which I can say that I've either used or heard that they are good

1. Harvey Gibbs @ SCS in Peterborough 01733 576 614

2. The lads @ Turbosystems 01782-564222

3. Mark Shead @ MAD dont have

4. SCC, dont have


Have a look on the RSOC BB (on the above link) and get there feedback. Most of them are sensible and very helpful.

If you want acceleration @ 10m/sec, just push it off a cliff
