    Clarkson on the S3

    i remember that too JoJo if you look in back issues of Autocar the stats for it are almost exactly the same as the S3's yet the skoda was only meant to have 180bhp. Autocar did pick up on it though and it had a small write up in the news section a month or so later Mark

    N75 J or N75 H?

    H gives huge initial boost spike i.e.1.7 - 1.8 bar and then is very similar to the standard after that. the J valves iniitial boost is lower than the H, but seems to hold boost better across the range. ive got boost graphs of them somewhere at home ill try and post them tonight. Mark
