Hi there all, Been loving driving my VP Senator but was just wondering what could i do to this car to make some more power........ I think it has 180 kw from factory but i know thats at the flywheel.....Also does anyone know what i can do for a noisy diff (lsd) apart from getting it rebuilt......



Cheers

Simon

The age old saying applies: "Speed costs money... how fast do you want to go?"

The options are limitless, all depending on your budget. Exhausts, throttle bodies, superchargers, ecu remaps, give us some idea of your budget! Oh, and then do a search, because the forums are already a wealth of infomation, and people often end up repeating themselves time and time again. I'm sure Greenie for example has the same 5 PM's every other day about his tunes.

Assuming your 130kW is on the ground now, you could prob get up to 145kW if you spend the money properly. Has anything been done to the car yet? Not just the engine but drivetrain or suspension?
