Why is it Bluey driuves so much better than the typhoon....

TOTALLY different in every possible way, I think typhoon may have an ignition problem or lack of power as even without the stainless powerflow, sports cat and cold air induction CDA still feels like it has so much more repsonse, it does miss the mid range power due to having std zorst on now though...

drives like a new car at 129k, door shutting sounds like a "golf" too

Don't forget the KV6 seems to improve with miles!! Your TB with 130K has got nice and free!! The Typhoon should improve with miles. And don't forget the ecu will take some time to re-adapt to the new zorst and filter!!

kev mocko is on a distinguished road
my old 180 felt a completely different car to the 180 i have now too,i sometimes feel my hatch back handled a lot better than my saloon i have now does too,i nearly sold it just on that reason alone but dont really want to part with a good one and could make a mistake and get a costly one ;-)
