yeh mate i went to get the car saturday jamie had to take the cams out in the morning and grind a cupple of shims and fix an air leak to wich messed up the mapping he had done as it had uped the pressure to the cylinders nocking out the AFR's
so he had a go at sorting it out but but by then it was 5pm so he set the limiter to 5k and turned off the boost and let me take the car home and said just treat it as if i was running it in!
so drove home all was well put it on my driveway and whent to start it a bit later on to wich i had nothing! so gave jamie a call and he helped me out over the phone!
turned out my crank sensor has had it and i wernt getting a spark! so yet more problems! so i got up at 4.30 on sunday morning for fitp and took the sensor off a spare engine and fitted it to the RS but it didnt solve the problem so me and my mates was push starting it down the street! god knows what the neighbours thaught lol!
any how got to fitp in one peice and had a great day got to no jamie a little better to wich i know where i stand with all what is going on with my car now! before it seemed like leaving it with a stranger! so i left it in his capeable hands to finnish off!
my wheels are kerbd and i have a scratch on my bumper to wich he said he would sort out no problems at all! was shocked by this but just shows what a great guy he is! so he said he was getting the wheels off today and sorting them out and hes going to map the car tomorrow so watch this space! will see what happens

update
But no graph yet! lol going to do a rolling road day with a cupple of mates soon so will get up the results! but its seeing around 330bhp still with similar torque and peaking 20psi and holding 17! quite happy to be honest its an animal!
only thing i was a little dissapointed at is the difference of how laggy the 71 housing on the gt28 is compaired to the 60!! seems to take a while to spool up now but once its going you know about it! but in 2 minds on what to do as its pants off the line now
anyway been out enjoying it most the weekend and its so nice to have it back! used over Ł80 in 2 days on fuel catching up on old times! im suprised how good on fuel it is! the pump is good also for those who are interested didnt suffer any pick up problems yesterday!
hat off to jamie as he has spent over 100 hours mappin getting it to where it is now along with all the problems we have had! my actuator arm even snaped off on the way home on saturday just waiting for my forge one to come through! talk about crap luck!
here are some fresh pics i took! hope you like

now keeping the car but returning a cupple of things back to standard.
available is big ads old st170 head fully reworked by ian howell with mild cams! ad had the car over 400hp on this head and there was room for much more!
with this you are getting cams piper verniers vvt disabled st170 cam cover in matt black ready to bolt on to some serious bottom end to get it to work to its full potential!
looking for Ł800 for this! it has done less than 2500miles!

thanks
