Cool Just a little update....

Got just under 200miles to go and have just been out to raise the limiter to 6000rpm and the boost to 21psi...
Making 21psi by 3050rpm'ish and it's quite rich with no sign of det whatsoever so with more mapping to add in some advance and remove fuel as needed should spool up a fraction quicker than that!

Really pleased with how it's coming along, feels fucking fast!!
But not in a lag, lag, lag, BANG kind of way..... it starts pulling from 2500rpm and just keeps going almost like a NA car No big torque spike to break traction and launch you all over the road, just nice progressive power!
Cant wait to see the torque graph when i'm 100% finshed!

Fair play to you mate, no one can say you dont deserve it after all the problems you've had over the last 9 months or so. i hope it serves you well.

the diff you got will be helping with your torque steer a lot and add the advance first as if you make more power then you might not have to trim as much fuel out
