it is an awesome bit of kit and is being fitted to jamies own demo car(read performance ford).
The fact that Jamie now uses a product that he sells on a car used to promote his services and products is not surprising now is it. I also do not think it has larger meaning than that.
When you state read performance ford as evidence of it being an awesome bit of kit, im not aware that they have done direct comparisons against other ECU's with regards to functionality such as transient fuelling.
lot of people have different opinions about rolling roads.jamie is one of the best at tuning rs turbos and knows exactly wot to do to get the best out of them.
What does jamie's ability to tune rs turbos have to do with rolling roads?
and alot of people seem to think it takes alot to get 200bhp out of an rs turbo.
i had a brand new bottom end from jamsport costing 1200quid,jamie put my standard cvh head on it ,added vernier pulley, a kent cam,unlimited boost BBR chipped ecu,double capacity pace intercooler,scorpion exhaust.
that car made 210bhp and 226lb ft torque @ 14 psi of boost on jamies rolling road,
also managed a 14.4 quarter mile time and terminal of 99mph.
so do some people not believe these figures?
cos its not a big spec by any means!
I have run my car on a number of different rolling roads in its current spec and from the highest to the lowest there is a 34 BHP difference as such unless someone can produce a number of dyno sheets from different places showing these figures I take them all with a pitch of salt, including your figures
Im more impressed with proven performance such as your 14.4 quarter if the Gotech is such a great bit of kit im just curious to know why the fastest CVH RS Turbo's in the country are not using it.
