My mapper (Clive attowe ) has been mapping since 1982 in his own premises. You'll struggle to find a bad review / comment about him , he's not a "scooby specialists" but he's probably mapped more scoobies than most in the past 30 odd years .

His dyno cell is mint and doesn't over inflate figures, he doesn't sell anything but will fix just about everything.

shame your so far away but I gave "Clive attowe reviews " a google and this popped up .

His bread n butter is now mainly vag stuff but the only scooby software he doesn't use is esl , hence why I used jgm for my v3 uk at attowes dyno .

They both had a lot of mutual respect for each other and I felt quite lucky to have them both looking over my car at the time .

There's plenty of opinions expressed about who's hot and who's not but for locality to you I'd say speak to engine tuner and if it's local enough , pop in for a power run and a chat before you dip your hand in your pocket again .

As you can make your own mind up and try before you buy [emoji6]

Well I think there both !Removed! .

Could have had my lines Clive, been sat in the packet sinceJuly, not sure my original ones will come off without some major surgery, may just leave as is

Tbh I was only supposed to be ordering some fast road pads but I noticed 1 of the rear existing braided lines had been rubbing on the bodywork since I fitted the coilovers.

I just ended up impulse buying a full set [emoji39]

I'm running pretty much the same spec in my 94 sti and I built the engine myself too but I've got a smaller turbo and injectors. It's a fairly unusual turbo choice too aps sr40 which is basically a garret gt28rs with a 8cm hotside.

It's stock location and should be good for 400hp but it was only £200 so I thought it was worth a punt 😎

I haven't got it mapped in yet so I've just turned it down to 1 bar untill I do .

If you know your way round a boxer build feel free to join in or add any advice on any of the threads here .

Only other decent mappers I can think of that would come to a dyno of your choice (mobile mappers) are Andy forest and Bob rawl. Both of them are normally difficult to get hold of due to being so busy .

I've never delt with Alan Jeffrey (engine tuner) but he has a good rep and was helpful via email with some questions I had a while back

Bought a full set Goodrich braided brake lines and some friction performance front brake pads for the brembos

Hopefully they'll have better bite from cold than the current red stuff pads .

Think the beta ends on the 8th of September. Definitely be getting it on the ps4 , even though I did get a bit miffed with the nob jockeys running me over on their horses [emoji23]

Your welcome mate , you nearly always get a reply on here .

We like to help if possible 

Do you know if your injectors are the right ones for the ecu (phase 1 grey 380's or yellow 440's ) did you use new "o" rings when you fitted them ?

Do you know if the fpr is reading true ?

as a slight change in pressure can make a big difference to the fueling .

Thought I'd add I once connected the coil packs on cylinder 1 &3 the wrong way round [emoji55] it ran lumpy on 2 cylinders and even drove up to 3k .

Hi n welcome , some choice mods and nice figures you've got there bud [emoji106]

Do like a early classic me [emoji6] always nice to see one in good nick that's had time n effort spent on it [emoji41]

I have heard of a few people running derv truck turbos and getting good results . Are they standard location or custom rotated ?

I pay the same tax on my 05 plate 1.3 cdti combo van as I do for my 94 sti [emoji15]

Although it should be almost half that for the van, apparently it's the "heavy load" version so it's a higher tax bracket .

I'm fairly sure that I won't be buying a Renault derv anyways but it goes to show that the influx of new "small smart derv city cars " that we were influxed with a few years ago .....

Weren't so smart after all [emoji39]

No problem bud hope you get it sorted soon [emoji106]

Sometimes you can get away with re using the turbo outlet gaskets but they're a "crush" type gasket and don't always reseal properly.

I used a bit of exhaust assembly paste once before just to see me through untill I got a new one but it's not recommended to use in pre cat locations.

Admittedly my catted downpipe was in the shed at the time [emoji23]

Did you nip the bolts up evenly ?

As you might be lucky enough to just undo the bolts a bit , support the downpipe (with a jack and a block of wood) to close the flanges together at the right angle and re tighten them .

Otherwise it's a new gasket, bud

Had a box with ally pipework from "ash" turn up today 😎

so I had a quick "play" to see if I can find a neater way of re routing the intake pipe work by getting a custom hard pipe welded up .

It not looking as easy as I'd hoped but I like a challenge and was never any good at tetris anyways [emoji39]

It depends on what year sti or wrx and whether it's a uk or jdm version .

Generally the sti has all the above plus better cams ,headgaskets and forged pistons .

So for instance a 04 wrx would probably be at its limit at 360 hp . Whereas a 04 jdm sti would be good for 450 hp, have better brakes and a much stronger 6 speed box.

No problem ,bud .

Unfortunately sparks ain't really my thing .

there's a link to free pdf files on 1 of the first few pages of my sticky build thread on here which will have the diagrams on .

The loom earth should bolt onto the inlet manifold with a earthing "eye" just behind the start of the fuel hard lines (above cylinder 4 )

Keep us posted and best of luck

It definitely sounds like a electrical issue to me , seeing as it idles ok with the maf and tps unplugged.

Does seem strange that your not getting any codes up though . When you reset the ecu (I think) the boost solinoid and relays "click" ect . Does it do that ? , Ie is the reset /eml light definitely working ?

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Has it definitely got a jdm ecu in it ?

Changing the tps or icv can cause issues if the manual adjustment is in a different position . As the ecu thinks it's in a different position .

Have you attached the engine loom earth to the inlet manifold?

Did you reinstall the ignition igniter behind the boost solinoid bracket. As this is by passed when doing a newage coil pack conversion?

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

When you say different inlet manifold, was it the same as the original (phase 1 ) ?

Or was it the later phase 1.5 with the single coilpack in the centre of the inlet manifold ?

Happy dayz .

I'd suggest to get some three bond liquid gasket sealer for the block halves and sump .As cheaper stuff is known not to last .

If they're not included in the full gasket set , turbo outlet ,up pipe and header oe gaskets.

Dunno if you want to go the whole hog and get timing idlers and tensioner too

I personally don't like stickers/graphics[emoji55]

but I do like originality and things that are different to the norm [emoji106]

Mines probably got enough ponies to be a low 12 second car ......

It's just the donkey driver that's letting it down [emoji23]

Yeah tbh I'd settle for a trouble free mapping session but before and after graphs would've been nice to see how much difference in hp it's made . Rather than just knowing that the turbo outlet pipe is much cooler to the touch.

I was lucky enough to find these with nearly new discs and pads for £350 [emoji41]

Admittedly They normally go for about £450 second hand
