cracking little car mate looks really well, the only thing i would reccomend that you change is the turbo flange on your manifold it looks a little thin and may warp in use causing blowing gaskets all the time i would reccomend using at least a 10mm one allthough 12mm would be preferable

dns2491

Thanks for the comments.

I will see how the flanges go, as if the grip is fine, then they along with the turbo wont be staying long..

Yesterday didnt go so well..

Wiring issue on injector# 3, meant a quick fix with a bodge block to get the mapping underway.

So got on with the start ups and idling.

Got to a point of mapping off boost, when suddenly the water temp started rising. Turned out the aux belt had come off, closer inspection found the tensioner had melted and melted the belt to it.. So we had to abandon it for the day. I got the car back to work, another belt and a different route without the tensioner meant i could fix it pretty quick. So i dropped it back over yesterday evening.

Arrived over there this afternoon to find an air leak on my mates subaru which is also being mapped. And he had my car back on the rollers. Good news it managed to survive the rest of the mapping and was finished by 5:30.

And the result at 19 PSi..



276BHp and 300 lb/ft of tourque at the Fly

It managed 285bhp and 315 lb/ft at 21 PSi. But turned it down to save my life, grip and the clutch.

I will try and uplaod my vids of the rollers, crazy loud!

Couple of videos of the mapping. Stupid me filmed it sideways..
