16.1 audi A3 1.8 turbo 200 ish bhp
Crap runs though did 4 times, 17.1, 16.9, 16.7, 16.1. Then discovered the boost was peaking at 9psi and dropping to 5 (should be 16psi peak) plus the fact it was 33 degrees that day too. Now hoping to hit low 15's or very high 14's

Is it the VW in falkirk or stirling you work for?? I raced a couple of guys in a R32 (one was the salesman) and beat them, they stopped me at the bowtrees roundabout and asked what I had under the bonnet. I think they were quite suprised that a corsa beat there top of the range golf.
