Re: TWiR 1986 S3 TWR
Just want to know what I have here.
12a minus air pump minus thermal reactor plus headers plus custom exhaust plus street port. It all adds up to something, right?
So I thought I'd get a baseline and see what can be improved on from there ....

Always handy to know should you ever decide to change your setup........like maybe trying another Carb or something like that...you can then tell the improvement

Re: TWiR 1986 S3 TWR
And so it came to pass that the Little Red RX brapped up to Surrey Rolling Road on Saturday morning

And although the outright horsepower record could consider itself reasonably safe

Well, one is quite pleased with this .....


Same as a factory 12a turbo

Good number Dave. That's a bit more than I would have guessed, I was expecting it to come in around 140-150ish
Any intake mods yet?
