Really?

Hell yes! I've just got home. It feels so strong and the spool up on the turbo is wicked.
I wasn't able to take it past 13psi or do any hard launches though as it would appear that I have some sort of ignition problem. Pete thinks it's the coil so I'll swap that out for a new one during the week and see if it sorts it.
Thanks again

I had a similar problem a few years ago, when getting mapped i started getting problems at 1.3 bar, turned out to be the ignition leads, hope you get a quick fix and glad you like what you have so far

Yep. Im sure if you do a couple of searches or ask any of the specialists/gurus they will confirm it for you

If you do a search I think you will find that there are cases of blocks cracking on each Rev. It is luck of the draw mate.

That there may be. But the rev 3+ walls are thinner, therefore making the risk higher, mate.

Yep, no codes.

Leads and plugs are reasonably new so it shouldn't be them. I'll report back when I know the issue.

shouldn't be.. but it'd make sense to eliminate the possibility of it being them..
minor teething problems anyway, looking forward to more pics, and maybe even a few dyno graphs.
