Hope you enjoy :)
 
That looks exactly the same as my 9 even down to how clean it is. I got 16" slips are yours 15 or 16 hard to tell they look like 15's. Awsome 9 man.

Spec on the astra?
Looks fairly standard just Cdti style intake.

Fully forged, cone filter, front mount ect ect. Around 300bhp. It's pretty fast hah

Wow that's pretty surprising that it's forged.
Take it he'll upgrade the turbo next? I had 330hp on stock block so only reason I can see to forge would be for future plans?

The Astras make silly torque figures so feel rapid with just basic mods.

He bought it off someone already done, he's got a vxr turbo on it. Don't really know loads about it. Yeah the torque is unreal!!
 
Yeah vxr turbo is too small(IMO)
Strange to see a forged build without a Garrett or similar "proper turbo".
I really miss mine and have a soft spot for them, not sure why lol
Still not a touch on a turbo 9 I bet?
 
Yeah, Hes looking into bigger turbo ect, I'm not clued up on the vauxhall side of things. No nothing on the 9 ;) still an awesome car though
