Hi all i have a c70 2.0t
looks good but very slow,
what can i do to get more power

Had it lowered 40mm since picture

Very slow? i guess you need another 200 bhp to make it reasonable then ;-) Seriously you should have bought the T5 to start with .. might still be a cheaper option ..

tbh 200 bhp in a car that size actually isn't very quick at all, wouldn't have said it was very slow though right enough.

Seriously though...what is the performance like on the 2.0T ?

Are they really 200bhp ?

Did they also do a 2.4T or n/a ??

i think the bhp is 163bhp it's ok
good on fuel average about 30-35 mpg
cheap insurance
But i'm not going to win any drag races

I have to be honest and say I know nothing about tuning the 2.0T, most people start with a T5 or a T4 as their base because if you want a faster car it's better to start with a fast car in the first place

That said what year is your car? If it's newer than 2000 maybe something like this is what you're looking for?
