It's standard (PiperX filter aside) and I have a rolling road printout from AMD saying 240 bhp. What strikes me looking at the graph is the surge of power from about 4200rpm - almost as pronounced as variable valve timing or something. Are they all this way? Not complaining - you can really feel the kick and it makes for a much more characterful engine.

Thanks folks.

OK, previous owner has confirmed the follower has never been replaced and seeing as I'm at 75k miles I think I'll get it done asap (PCV and DV both fine/uprated though).

Can I ask what's a reasonable price to pay a garage:
1) To check the follower
2) To replace it if it proves necessary??

Thanks again.
