sorry mate... i cant make head or tail of that... lol
anyway if at 11psi....it makes 132bhp... if thats at the wheels then it wud prob b bout 170bhp ish.... at flywheel...
which is believable... if its 132 at 11psi at flywheel... sumthings wrong there...
wot spec is it mate???
mods etc?
wud only need a chipped ecu and -31 and few other minor mods to get 170bhp

no new boost hoses.... yes very easy to fit....
al ull need to do is sort out new fan situation...
easiest option is twin 10' kenlowes... but expensive...
wen i fitted mine... i lifted up rad to run wires behind it... allowing GRS to push up close to rad leaving more space for fan... then fixed rad bk down... just push it in place... obviously u gotta remove std cooler first...
then fit a bracket ,which takes place of old cooler, to rad...
they cum with 4 tabs welded to it to bend how u want them so u can drill em out and fix bolts thru existing holes in front end...
JanoOddkidd can supply ya 1 i think matey... www.oddkiddcreations.co.uk
just ask...
really easy mate...

132 at wheels = 155 at crank.
The above looks like someones been using their etchasketch.
I'm looking at all my graphs(many different companies) and none of them
feature wheel and crank, all of them are crank only.
Don't mess around guessing, take it to someone like Jamie at Jamsport
spend your Ł140 having it set up correctly and you'll have to worry
about 2 less things...
1,Is it/when will it go bang?
2,So, thats how much it produces......!
Good luck

You'll need to get it setup properly by a good tuner

It is reading in KW. Which is like Andy says 176.8 bhp. So, nothing to worry about IF thats a real graph. But, I'm with everyone else. Take it to a reputable tuner and get it set up properly

Right now chaps, i was reading over my advert for my car from when i bought it from ebay in november (saved in my favorites)
and in the list of the car mods, it lists actuator, exhaust, filter, dump valve
but no mention of ecu chip?
he said he had it running at 150bhp at one time so its not possible to run this bhp without a chip? or is it?
is there a way of seeing if my ecu is chipped? stickers ect?

My original engine made over 150bhp @ 10psi without a chip. It can be done. You be best off getting an intercooler and a chip and you be on your way to a good 200bhp.

Depends, chips vary very little. Most off the shelf chips will be fine for 99% of MFi users. Buying a second hand ECU with a "chip" in it would be the cheapest way of doing it. Then you can just swap the ECU's over and drive to a tuner and get them to set it up. It only takes 10 minutes to swap the ECU's over.
All an RST chip does is remove the boost cut. It will have an ignition curve written into it too. There is no "mapping" as such, just some tweaking with some screws to get the fueling as right as possible.

What ECU you have the moment? The best ECU for an RST is a S1 ECU. Blue Red Blue I think...
Make of chip doesn't really matter, like I said there is very little difference. You could fit the chipped ECU and drive as normal. It wouldn't alter the fueling at all.
Boy, all this talk of ECU's and Chips bring back memories
