Hi Herb

I have actually seen a photo of the production version of the 1.8i turbo kit
(performance car) however there was no info on whether this would be a mazda
approved or not. I seem to recall that power was quoted at 165bhp but my memorys
a bit fuzzy on the point.

if there's an official announcement from BBR or Mazda UK i'll post it here
