I just want to say a big thank you to Luke @ EP for finding my lost power in the Fiesta and returning it to it's torquey heights!

Started off being about 130bhp and ended up with exactly 200bhp and crazy torque after finding a couple of problems and setting it up, to say it runs better all round now is an understatement!

Had a AB07 cam fitted then a bit of remapping.

Tony wasn't happy with the way the boost was coming in, checked the turbo and the wastegate penny fell off

Turbo at TT being repaired

It was worth seeing Luke in action in itself mate, every little thing he found ended up with a small power increase, until we ended up tweaking the boost and making crazy torque!

Definitely, i'll pop in soon... maybe for some more work to be done if i haven't sold it in the meantime lol

Still at Tonys waiting for the turbo to come back from TT

The car wasn't boosting correctly so removed the turbo and the wastegate penny fell off

Its been at TT's for a week now

They built the whole turbo quicker than that.

It's very peaky though Danny and not a particularly nice looking curve at all due to a mismatched chip I think which could be addressed if i keep the car, as it is both power and torque fall away too much... but i wanted it set up and checked as it was and that's what i've got

Lol, you made me double check! ... yeah 'll try and get them up but as i said they are peaky and not particularly pretty!
