Both of the Cars have stock turbo, a bigger intercooler (Allisport and Alard) and a Stage 3+ remap - the pick-up is a bit more pushed up, cause the axles can handle it...

We were gona racing against big guys with over 500bhp so we had to make td5 give it all.. Has promissed here in another thread, we made the car smoke, a lot :)

The Race

The biggest teams from all over Europe where here, and one USA team! Highly modified Buggys, with big tyres, amazing axles, coilover, bypasses and big powerful LS engines. A lot of cars were over 500bhp, one of them claymed the 800bhp figure.

Some of the guys:
