Talking Almost DD Day!

I'll be heading up to APT for a session on their Dyno Dynamics rollers Friday morning at 11am to finally find out what I've managed to squeze out of my little 1.6cvh

Should be really interesting to see how and where it makes it's torque and bhp, and hear Gary and Christian's feedback too....
Although Gary will probably run and hide pretending he isnt there when he see's two RS Turbo's pulling up out the front! lol

Really looking forward to it!

Graph's will be posted when I return for everyone to have a peek at and my full spec too in case anyone doesnt know what it is already!

good luck fella, i should get mine on the rollers, but i keep blowing boost pipes off lol!
you should be aiming for around 220bhp, like you say anything else is a bonus and i'm sure you'll get a bit on top

Hey up Karlos,

good luck tomorrow, hope it goes well, im really interested to see how the graph behaves as you have mapped it yourself, may give us all some inspiration to do a bit of diy mapping ourselves but I must admit im getting rick off here to do mine.

keep us posted

Raj

p.s. found the receipt of the box and it was for Ł1209 meaning it is the stage 2+. Gona keep it now though I think and kill it, mtx to follow

Call power gears! i'm telling you, tell them your a mate of mine and they'll look after you. they can talk you through loads of options and can rebuild your BC to any spec.

Looking at the pictures of it now it's on 16s, I'm surprised it even got up the ramp onto the dyno

Interesting to see the results and comments from Christian and Gary anyway
