Dude, C vans are cheap really, as not many people have them, they go for Astra vans. You can get 55 reg C Vans for like £3.5k.

mike how did you tune it with obd

Plugged it into my laptop & flash mapped it. The map I used took it to 130bhp/198ftlb

That was on a 16v non intercooled tho. Your might be an 8v being as its a Y reg, im not sure tho.
