Firstly it "should" have the 220 badge on the boot lid.

Secondly have a look at your throttle body. If it has the Tickford wings etched into it, it will more than likely be the 220, if not it'll probly be the 200kw.

I think thre is a build date to seperate them aswell. Unsure to this though im sure someone on here will know.

I feel like I am answering this question on a near weekly basis lately. On the up side that does mean that there are more of them being picked up by people who care.

What build date is it?
Does it have the Tickford wings on the Throttle body?
Does it have the 220 badging?
Does it keep up with an XR6T?

I know many get tired of answering the same old, same old questions. But we all need to keep in mind that there are so many people joining us here, who don't know what we seem to take for granted. I mean just check out the 'for sale' thread to see that there's a massive amount of e series cars for sale. If they can't cough up enough $ for a B series, you can bet they'll join us in the great land of AU!

Cheers,

GK

Its not hard to get it up to 220kw anyway, with some good intake and exhaust choices, and a good tune, you'd be over 220kw for under $2k.

Yes, a G&D airbox is the best out there.
