Hi everyone ?

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi since I've just purchased a 2012 Astra gtc 1.4 turbo (120).

I have a few questions about the car if anyone can help me. Firstly, what is the difference between the 120bhp and the 140bhp 1.4 turbo? Obviously 20bhp, but is that just down to the map or are there also physical differences?

Can anyone tell me what sort of power these engines are capable of and what sort of power can the clutch, gearbox etc take before running into problems?

Hi all, thought I'd start a little thread as I've just bought myself a 2012 Astra GTC 1.4 turbo (120).

My plans for the car are to get it up to around 180bhp, does this sound achievable? There must be other owners on here with the 1.4 turbo engine that have reached this sort of figure. What's the best route to take? Any info at all on this subject is appreciated as the GTC is still new to me.

My car has the 19 inch 5 spoke alloys, which I'm looking at getting refurbished in a dark colou

I have seen a few posts about swirl flaps on diesel engines becoming stuck or faulty. Does my engine have them, if so how can i locate them?

Hi all,

Just curious as to what performance mods were available for the 1.6t. I don't here about this engine much and modifications are even rarer.

I'm currently planning what I want done so I can start putting together an order of things to do and so far my list is:

1) Exhaust (still to decide cat back/ full system etc)
2) Intake
3) FMIC
4) Stage 2 Remap

but I was wondering if there's anything extra I can do to get a bit more out of her. Any body know of anyone fitting bigger tur

After an induction kit to fit my 1.4T J. Any ideas or suggestions on what to get please?

Thanks.

Hi I'm after some advice I picked my 13plate astra up today over the moon with it... however I want to know what I need to do and what's the easiest option with regards to getting the bluetooth function working when I press config it doesn't bring up the phone menu so what I'm asking is can I take it to a dealer and they do it or isit just as easy and cheaper for me to do it myself and will it work straight away....... no software changing ect
Also id like a usb port however I'm guessing that m

So I've started to make a progress file on my very much loved Astra. It's only got 14,500 on the clock, so a nice low mileage one.

I started off by changing the plates over to my own personalised one's
