Attended Weston Performance Dyno Day and quite pleased with the result. That being that it didn't expire on the dyno :wink:
Results 236 fly and 197 wheels, so I've now got a bench mark to work from. Operator comments rich fuelling under load, boost and fuel control needed, turbo spools quite slowly.
TTE Turbo'd Roadster going this week so will have a little cash to spend on improving power.
Hopefully get something done soon and then attend another Dyno Day.

Just had a GTSChris downpipe and Greddy PRofec B-specII boost controller fitted by Nathan at Century Motorsport. I cannot believe the difference. Sounds far better and pulls so much better. I'm looking forward to the MR2 Only Dyno Day at DSA on 14th April to (hopefully) see an improved set of figures.
Think I'm going to love this car :oops:

Greddy Profec David :whistle: :wink:

Glad you enjoy the difference - we got the spool up on the turbo down drastically, which is always nice :thumleft:

The car lives on in my memory and in donor parts across the country.
