I show you here, that i already beaten the manufacturers. Because the odo trip meter cant handle 1000km





Installed a scan gauge.

No pic of it yet.

Then i did something to the engine.
Chiptuning. But what is this?
I looked at the intercooler, damn, that thing is small
So lets trow some monney to it



I lowerd the AC fans until it is almost against the engine protection pan cover.
Then i placed an intercooler as big as possible:



Voila, This intercooler is almost 3 times bigger then the original. It is 2 times thicker and a bit more surface area.

The custum chip:
193hp and 407Nm.
That is 57hp and 89Nm more then stock
Hp is limited by the max airflow of the little VGA turbo, max torque is limited for the clutch and gearbox. The last thing we want is something to break down :P
