Default had my car on the rollers today....happy but need more

hi all,

im new to the site but thought i might as well join in with the posts,

had my car on the rollers today, 1.8zetec turbo running OFAB managment,CVH efi inlet, CVH exhaust manifold and t3 turbo and its in a 5door mk3 fiesta classic

first run was 195bhp at the wheels, then he done a second run with fuel pressure gauge etc on it as he thought the fueling was wrong and he was right its majorly under fueled ! he tried adjusting the pressure reg but then decided its the fuel pump,

second run it made 200bhp and 220ft/lb of torque

quite happy with it but will change the pump and fuel line and get my hybrid turbo on and see if i can get some more out of it

any comments welcome,

cheers
steve

Good old Ray and the boys.

200BHP at the wheels in a Fiesta is good going IMO.
