What even if I only had 25bhp or 50hp? Fitter who is an agent of Wizards of NOS said i could safely have 75 to 100 bhp, all be it i bet this is his opinion of what a typical european engine/transmission of a mainstream manufacturer could handle.

My car other than the engine/gear box and exhaust is the same as a 2.2 so it could take upto 185bhp?

Also i keep thinking back to the review done by filth gear when they had a WON kit on a diesel VW golf, they were over the moon with it, and this was a televised review for a serious modification not a Top Gear like loony thing.

I might still do it, but reign back from 75 to 100, and perhaps stick with 25bhp or 50bhp injector?
