Default My RST is in for a tune up and setup

well my old RR before my car started to play up was 246bhp,

I now have a new ECU and, Due to that its not been boosting correctly and popes flaimes out the zorst and bangs like a Mofo, lean on boost so it wants to but dont, sometimes the Pud boosts corretly and wips me into my seat, Then in 3rd gear the ECU cuts the boosting out at 3k, judder and bang, Massive Flaime,

Now hes RRed it before he does anything to see my problems 205.45bhp so yerrr its still strong,

Now hes compresstion tested all 4 cylinders and check the head for any problems, fitter new parts and cracked on with ajusting the -31 ac for the turbo and now playing with the fuel mixture, hes fine tuning it, then setting up to about 18psi as the engine can take that, everything inside is uprated, brand new rebuilt engine.

so he recons that once the fueling is correct and the boosting is correct hes ganna fine tune the pud and should see an easy 240bhp

Now its been running lean on boosting do i once all setup and fine tunned take it easy for a 1000miles before i give it any for the engine to get used to everything
