I know [emoji38] mad though. I think next on the list is arb, drop links and brakes. Then start on the body work

Fu uck that makes a huge difference. It's almost scary. Theres no time for a blink between 1st and 2nd. Brakes are def getting a change. It's so easy to get the speed up now. Unbelievable difference. Duncan's done a top job for me here.

Yes 276hp and 280ftlb. I more chuffed how complimentary he was about my car. [emoji5] [emoji5] Gonna be leaving in a bit for a test. Edit: I'm now running 1.1bar instead of 0.8 Edit again: 1.3bar boost.

All done. 276/280 [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] he said the car is running perfect. Massive smile on his face so that can only be good news. I'm well chuffed. For those interested. It was 211 standard. 3" centre and rear put it to 234. Adding the decat downpipe, panel filter and 3 port made 250. Now after mapping and brining it all together I'm at 276. He said the only thing stopping more is my turbo.

I got 234 before but didn't have decat, 3 port or panel in it. Different dyno

She's had a pre run and made 250hp. That's decat 3" turbo back, panel filter, 3 port and rcm fuel pump. He said car is healthy. Good air/fuel ratio. Now he's mapping. [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

Yeah you did say it was a mix match but there's no history of any engine work and its quite extensive. That's not to say it didn't happen.

Not sure if mine was changed then but when we did my cambelt I have hydraulic tensioner. I'm my2000

I'm already smiling ear to ear. Anymore and I think my face is gonna crack.

I can't contain my excitement any longer. My car is in today with Duncan for a remap! I have to wait all the way till 2pm though [emoji20] I'm hoping to hit 270hp but I'm more interested in the torque and the Lower range punch. [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji38] [emoji38]

I'm not too sure. If you call icp he will be happy to help.

The plastic bottle with flip lid is overflow/expansion tank.

Stick your nose in the overflow and smell for exhaust/petrol smell. Also check the overflow for bubbles while the car is running. That may indicate hg. There's also a sniff test a garage can do for you to detect hydro carbons.

I went with the dayco belt and pump package that icp sell. Some guys go for the gates belt. I've got no opinion either way as I'm sure they're both as good as each other in all fairness.

Those are some hostile places.

Downpipe gasket just been done. This isn't a job that's getting done soon as it's not showing any signs of slipping but should the box need to come out it will all be getting done. I appreciate all the help guys! I'm swaying more to the pink box just in case I ever increase the power more. Don't want to have to strip it all again for the sake of the extra pay out first time round.

I've had one before and really didn't like it as a daily. It's just my past experience with it that puts me off.

Fair do. Reason being is I've seen a bit of oil on the box. It smells like gearbox oil and my mech thinks its input shaft(I have no idea) but if the box is coming off for that I'll be doing the clutch at the same time to save doing it again any time soon.

Oh i might break the 300 one day. So will the pink box be suitable for 270? Are there different sizes to consider?

Just to mention, my clutch is fine and shows no sign of wearing out anytime soon. My main question is "when" the time comes for a clutch replacement is there a best clutch for my car. It's a turbo 2000 UK. I'm not after a paddle clutch but I would be keen on an uprated kit. I had a quick search on the forum but couldn't find anything specific to my question. Hope you guys can help out [emoji4] Much love!

No problem. I might look at changing the intercooler at some point to for both cosmetic and performance reasons. Any recommendations? Also will it need to be mapped in?

Coils to the right

No haven't looked anywhere sale for a pod. I contacted him again but still no reply since that first contact. Just worried about paying and not getting anything.

2000 UK model. Ets never got back to me again after I asked them to make me a pod and I asked how I can pay [emoji20]

No not yet. Still looking for the right one. Got any links or good suggestions?
