thought they might have just supplied the Turbo but then what do i know! :happy2:
fair point about the FSI prob...hence people still like to use the 1.8T for interesting conversions.

Something to do with the variable voltage required to run the fueling system, dont know exactly what or why but all I know is that everyone I have spoken to about it says its a massive ball ache, and the MED9 is powerful enough to do 'most' things if you have enough control over the ECU..
1.8T is a great engine, but for sure the FSI motor is a step forward.. Motec are just about to release an piggy back M800 style ECU for our cars I think.. That will be very interesting..
Anyways back to the topic..

With a 1/4 mile time in the 9's with 350bhp, you are looking at a seriously light car - all up 600kgs sounds about right for mid 9's...

Thanks to all with something positive to say!
Chris - The elise will run under 10 secs im very confident of that! Will get some pics up wen i know how to? The car will be running stock ECU - minus trhe clocks - with revo defeat!
Driven the 1.8t conversion previously in 280bhp form and it was rapid, so the TFSI lump should be even better!
Serious warning about the hubs tho - ppl on here can mock me all they want but its a very real problem! I know of three cars already that have shared the same fate! Heed my warning!!!!

Thanks for the heads up on the hubs - people can take it or leave it :happy2:

www.photobucket.com is the best place to upload pics to mate, then you can easily tag them onto a post..
Where exactly did the hub fail? Did you manage to get any pictures? And did VW have anything to say about it.. Pretty scary!
