To import or not to import?!?! from a newbie
Welcome. Fresh imports will have zero paperwork with them. try and get hold of a copy of the auction sheet, will tell you about it, bodywork its had etc. Also assume it will need a full service inc cambelt etc. Pound being as weak as it is at the min means prices are pretty high on fresh imports, plus you can find some in the uk already

Tidgy's project Type R
Could be the heads indeed, I'm not sure on the exact specs of the turbo in mine to see how it compares to yours, just didnt expect such a difference between the two.

Tidgy's project Type R
haha yeah, torque was good on the previous low boost map but i didn't expect it to stay so far ahead of the BHP, gained 65bhp and 85ftlb :o

Power graph chat
Post to talk about the graphs posted up in the reference thread.

Power graphs for reference
Thought it would be a good idea to get a thread going of peoples dyno graphs so if folks want info on what they can expect from what turbo/engine/mod combo. Can we please not have comments/general talk in this thread so it's just posts of graph and spec than can be searched for answers. I've created a chat thread here, If parts arn't off the shelf (turbos are a good example) please add (custom) so its easy to tell. Mine as a starter, 2.5 Closed deck converted block, mahle pistons, manley rods, ARP headstuds, ACl bearings, Supertech valve kit in V5 heads (none AVCS). Perrin inlet pipe, Front mount intercooler, Perrin induction kit, walbro 400 fuel pump, Nismo 740CC injectors, Syvecs ECU, GT spec Gen 2 headers, 06 UK hawk sti 6 speed gearbox, twin plate competition clutch, Full cobra decat, Garret GT2871 R billet turbo (Custom), 3 port boost solenoid, 4 bar map sensor.

Re maps
You will get various opinions on who ever you ask about. Problem is with dynamite he doesn't dare post on several sites such as 22b, shown to be lacking in technical knowledge by several of the most well respected tuners/mappers in the country. He is known to rush maps, claims to be able to map round faults (that most major mappers will terminate the mapping session if found and not fixable there and then) and doesn't road test post map. I'd be interested to know what engine builders use him?

Re maps
For once i don't think it is that. He's got a very bad rep on SN, 22b etc etc
-
Re maps
crikey, didn't realise it had gone that far. What are RCM thinking even contemplating using him. I bet they charge a premium as well
-
Re maps
as jay says he just uses their dyno. But im amazed they will even let him do that tbh for the same reason. association can be bad as well as good
-
Re maps
Dung khan? aka dynamite? Stay well clear, he doesn't even road test after mapping.
-
Re maps
£550+ vat iirc, includes the license fee as well.

Re maps
As above, sounds very dodgy. Just google, its flash mapping. Stay well clear and find a new mechanic who knows what they are doing with scoobs if he's advising that. Pet Herborn is based up at scoobyclinic at chesterfield. Mapped my car loads of times of the years for different mods, struggle to find a better mapper.

Looking for a good mechanic
One incident doesn't represent a company. if that was the case i think every one would be out of business. 20+ years experience in everything from road to rally, track to gymkhana, still trading under the original name. very very few companies can say that ;) Pay a visit and choose for yourself :)
