Interesting thread tbh as a lot of people are claiming to of run a lot more boost on turbos than they apparently can handle.

I've read that Mike R ran a T34 at similar levels years ago and they lasted no time at all.

What I'm more curious of is the Turbo Technics T38, the only person I know on here who has used one with big results is Mad Yum, no idea who boost he was running though to make the power he had.

Peaks and held on peoples T38's would be good please

If you have Autronic then Mark appears to be the man to use.

If not then I cant see why any other mapper can't get the results from an engine

Mike, i chose Mark because i'm having a GT30 setup next year and when he mapped my Tommi Mak with the Autronic i just liked the capabilities of the ECU, HENCE why i'm having it again...

NMS (KARL) can map cars very well, just cus i've chose to go somewhere else is my doing................

Best of luck with the Autronic, can that car get any better

I just wondered as Karl can map GT30's too.

it doesnt matter who you go to

main reason i asked is that some of your posts may of given the impression there was something wrong with Karl's mapping abilities, when that couldnt be further from the truth

good luck fella

Jonny, i think a UT T38 will be on it's limits around 450 or so..

I'm sure YUM made around 460 odd..

At Donny last year when he drove past in the car park I thought he had a full blown dog box in his esc cos.

Little did I know he had actually raped 3rd gear on a normal box (thus the noise) and was still out there having it.

funny how standard boxes can sound straight cut

I remember when driving into Crail at the start of the show season I bumped into Dave and Nick from PF and they asked when I got my straight cut box

Know that feeling, my mates nova engine revs to nearly 9k, we ended up putting 3 boxes in it in one week as the main bearings kept shitting themselves
