This is really something to look forward to. You are the Man Jan!
Put me in line for one of these. I'm ready for more power.

Jan, I know it's still a long way off, but what other RMW parts do you anticipate being needed to run a TVS on the 1.6L?

I know. I guess I'll hold on to them until you get this new SC figured out. hmmmm...what to do to get more power until then?

TVS1320 is too big for the 1.6L so it is being fit to the 2.0L stroker since that is the smallest TVS currently on the market. I am expecting 350whp
TVS 900 which is a replacement for the M45 on the 1.6L I would expect to make 300whp with our head/cam/header system
we will try to keep it as close to we can as a direct bolt on

Since the 900 could be a replacement for many worn out m45s, would there be an option for (this is going to sound weird) just normal power? Call me the minority, but I'm happy with my car as is and don't necessarily need 300 whp. What would the gain be with the 900 on a regular 15% car + your tune? Will the 900 offer a gain even as a just bolt on? Will it last as long or longer than the m45?
This is great stuff to read for me because I want to keep my R53 forever, and I know that it can't be done on the original SC.
Thanks
mb

jan isn't the tvs mean't to be quiet compared to the m45, which in my opinion would take it off the to-do list.
