BSR stage 1 for Vectra 06 is updated to 215Hp, 330Nm

[perry21]

I just visited BSR's Swedish site, and the
BSR stage 1 for Vectra 06 is updated to 215Hp, 330Nm
Has anyone tried this out yet?
Does it make any difference to the 204Hp, 310Nm version?
I think that maybe it is now time for me to get some more Hp.
Now I really hope that the 8k SEK drawback will make a difference, will it?

Duncan's '03 Signum 2.0T is at 217bhp with just the stage 1 m8

Went to www.bsrstockholm.se today and got the stage 1 mapping installed. It set me back 7.9k SEK )-:. After driving just a couple of km, my first impression is that that now my vecky feels more like it should have when I bought it, considering that it has a 2.0 engine and a turbo.
Makes me wonder why I have to give bsr 7.9k SEK for something that maybe should have been for there in the first place, or what do you think.

Gotta agree - Vauxhall/Opel could easily have made the 2.0T like it is with the BSR remap. Problem with that is that then it would have been in the same territory as the standard 3.2, so from a marketing point of view they couldn't push the 3.2 as the 'beast' of the range (at the time).

To quote the 2003 brochure when referring to the 'New 2.0i 16v Turbo' "this new 175PS turbocharged unit offers a powerful yet lower-capacity alternative to the refinement-biased 3.2i V6 24v, with punchy acceleration and excellent fuel economy etc....."

And obviously designed to sit between the 3.2 V6 and the 2.2 from which it was developed (by detuning to 2 litre and bolting on a turbo).

Exactly.

But now there seems to be other 2.0T GM engines that sits in the
Saab 9-3 SS/SC 2.0T 210Hp,
Cadillac BLS 210Hp Turbo,
Opel Astra 2.0T Z20LER 200Hp,
Opel Zafira 2.0T Z20LER 200Hp and
Opel GT 2.0T 264Hp
that have the expected juice.

Whats faster a BSR'd turbo or a standard GSi? If anybody knows?

[Duncan]

They'll be very closely matched - unless the 2.0T has the BSR Stage 3!
