    was chatting to a bloke yesturday and he was saying that some mk2 v.x and y reg saxo vts's were peoduced with 130bhp standard and there have a 3 plug ecu or something. im clueless as to what he was on about so wandering if anyone knows of this?

    Suposedly they have more tuning potential also???

    if its true how do i check as mines a mk2 v reg

    Y reg onwards had the 3 plug ecu.
    130 bhp is a myth! All came with 120bhp, but some ran more, some less!

    Search.

    There are come interesting quirks about the X platers which would mean they have more power

    For the purpose of this thread, my Y reg was a 130bhp, now loads more. It's for sale

    Buy it

    Never seen proof either way tbh.

    I've had 2 X plate VTS, the first was much healthier than my current one, its more to do with how its lived its life though

    been asked tons, and i mean tons.

    a big myth.

    the two prong head being the reason it started and there being no egr valve, ive never heard of a tuner say a 3 plugger had more potential, if anything usually the opposite.

    these threads usually turn into a spamfest, or a keyboard warrior banging on about his bhp figures.
