Check tyres also - often overlooked. You do not want to see a tyre go on a rolling road.

If you remember mine made 371.7bhp & 351lb/ft peaking at 25psi on Light Blues and crap chip.
I hope yours makes more than mine this time as you are running more boost and a better chip than me
Post the graph up on Monday, see if you can also get a print out of the AFR and Boost plots as well.

mine always seems abit down on power no matter what I do to it
but I am hoping for a genuine 350+bhp and the same torque that would do for now

Thanks for that Matt
Do you know the extent of the head work - was it just a little tidy up or did they increase port sizes etc.?
Cheers,
Ben

a good stage 1 head porting has a significant increase in flow rate and offers a good power increase per pound,higher levels of porting offer less bhp per pound

holding 30 psi
chris put a restrictor in one of the pipes to make it hold more boost
The boost controller is very simple to use which suits me
