    Nice looking Calais there dude. Reminds me of mine, which I still miss. I would recommend checking out l67Torque for everything you could ever want to know about the motor and alot more as well.

    I dunno, Ive owned a lighter car before (980kg) Which had 147kw and my VS is definately quicker and its got so much Torque. I would hope to see it in the 175rwkw region to be honest.

    I will be getting a cooler but at the price of the setups it will be the second to last mod i do and then the last mod will be 19Psi.

    I done 1:9 rocker, 10psi, pacemaker's, 100cpi cats tiwn 2 1/2 exhaust, CAI, 69mm throttle body, MACE chip and my VT only make 147rwkw so I just thought i'd ask. Not many people in SA tune these so I'd make the tune the last mod save's paying twice. And also you can run a intercooler with no tune

    You could be correct, I just know it's faster, Maybe not more powerful. Could be due to the trans and Diff gears though.

    My wifes VT is almost identical to what ducker just described, only on factory tune and standard cats and TB. It's putting out 154rwkw. so i would hazard at a guess you would be around there too.
    You can run a W2A cooler without a tune, but best results after tune, I wouldnt suggest trying to drive an A2A without a tune. The tune on these tends to be a bit more expensive, so do it once and do it right.
    I would highly consider a XPHot cam as well, an L67 and a XPhot cam were simply made to be together.
    Ask around on L67torque the guys there know their shit, and there is some amazing builds that show the real potential of the L67

    Having driven mine and then my mates WH L67 with nothing but an exhaust, The difference in Torque is phenomenal!!! I would recommend it! In the next few weeks im putting my 11.5psi pulley on and then by the end of the year i'll have her Intercooled and running 16PSI !!
