Sorry its off my 1.3 glanza turbo.
It made 276bhp at the fly
Had it in to raise the rev limiter as it was only reving to 6.8

What happens around 4,500 revs? Does it have variable valves?

I guess I'm just surprised it comes on so sudden - I was expecting it to spool up faster, being a small engine.

Very surprised how flat the torque curve is before that (though I guess it's all relative, because it's a pretty low torque figure, right?)

Small engine-big turbo = turbo lag loll

It made 230 torque which I thought was good.
It your talking about that middle line I don't no what that is either pal. The torque is the blue line

Oh! :lol:
Yeah I was meaning the middle line - that looks more like a torque curve than the other one :lol:

you need a hybrid turbo that one is too big gonna have to rev the tits off it all the time its great to have a building torque line but much better with a flatter torque curve
