drewiee99 0 Posted January 13, 2009 managed to get a little more info at the autosport show, the gumpert apollo was on the evo stand and the bloke whos it was built this car he was a ex partner of dub-sport. He said the car and engine was originally running close to 500hp back in the day but the injectors packed up on one of the cylinders and messed up the engine,so they got the engine out the back of the orange mk 1 and used that he says it is a t3/4 hybid turbo i think and its been on the dyno and got 370hp@ wheels. Its a straight car and he is in no rush to sell it but he dosent like it any more,if you want to run more power the head gasket need changing for one of a transporter for some reason thats what i was told. Cleared a few things up still a nice car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 13, 2009 A nice little bit of extra info there, very helpful. Sounds like a potential owner would still need to do a few things then, but at least he's been honest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
