   ALL UK saxo VTS' are 120bhp. There is no saxo with more than 120bhp from the factory as standard.

    The 135bhp version is after you have changed the cylinder head to the same one off the newer citroens and pugs the TU5JP4S is believe

    100% correct. There where ones called the "San Remo" that where tuned by a company called LAD, but they where not from the factory.

    IIRC they were meant to be running 180bhp but this came from a few "minor" mods, so in reality they were more like 140-150bhp

    San Remo is like me buying 10 Saxo's then selling then adding alloys and an induction kit and selling it as limited edition at 200bhp.
    
    Its an Overly optimistic figure.

    All a load of sh*te. No Turbo and even if it had you'd be a bit annoyed if it only gained 15bhp lol

    am well aware its sh*te,i was just stating what it said 2/3 years ago.
    most probably a typo,or an early vtr crap turbo conversion.
