Really wanted a starting point with the car..

Leaving changes in the car, until the 11th hour.. is never a good idea, only really had 1.5 hrs road map... must learn for the future.. :-k

The fuelling was lean, unfortunately which as you would expect does have a knock on effect..

Anyway - managed 411hp at 2bar.
As everyone knows it's a long process modifying cars.

The car should be able to make : 550+ bhp..

Cheers Martin..:)

Aiming for 600bhp..lol

No knock, solid build, 2bar of boost, no meth and no intercooler fans on.

Problem was the adaptor between the manifold and turbo - blew both its gaskets...:(

Probably be back down to the dyno in a month to see the final figures..:)
