    Obviously there are a good number of variables that will affect those 'figures' - it doesn't take into account (specifically) the gearing of a car, differences between power delivery of petrol and diesel etc. etc. - but as an 'ish' set of figures, probably not to bad.

    I've got a few things up my sleeve mate. The turbo box is way off at the moment.
