if you want more power it does :D trust me, its never enough hahaha

So issue was found, problem with mismatching ratios front to back, so diff swapped out and car ready to collect now its been mapped. Not managed to go pick it up yet but did get sent this :D damit, missed 400 by 1.8bhp but feck me, 460ftlb hahaha

Pretty amazing to see what gets sucked in, imagine what would have happened if you didnt have a filter at all :o

hahah :D

Good write up. Wrong gear is the bain of a turbo car. And get the dealer to sort the rattle.

O dear, poor scooby :( will blow up before long if he treats it like that, then i bet he will blame the car

rebuild time then :D

Ah k, tbh for the weight saving you'd be better off adding power, unless your gonna start to really strip it down .

Why do you want to remove it? gonna be sweating your balls off in summer haha

welcome, hahaha love it. yeah fozy sti's are pretty cool

Take the oil out of a car after 5k and see what it looks like and you'll understand why it needs changing more often that manufacturers claim. Even the oil producers will admit it needs changign more often that mans recomend

So found out my cars finished :D Question is what power did it make? should start a pole lol

Get it quoted before work starts, i suspect the bill might be more than its worth doing :(

oops yeah, hang on i'll change it

welcome

As said before, get it to a decent specialist and get them to give it a full once over. Sounds like might have an electrical grmlin as well so they can have a quick nose around see if theres anything obvious with it

Running in seems to be a debated subject, not sure why considering pretty much all the big tuners i know of do the following, 500 miles on crappy mineral oil, actuator disconnected and so only wastegate pressure Oil and filter change to semi synthetic and additional 500 miles, still with actuator disconnected Once at 1000 miles, oil and filter change to fully synthetic, reconnect the actuator and full map to suit.

Well stop playing around and get him to join, !Removed! amature,,,,, hahaha only joking :) but yeah get him to join

Haha, because of what you need to do mapping it on the road isnt always the safest. Also your own insurance wont cover you for it. if you get pulled you'll be done for driving without insurance plus what ever else they pulled you for.

Usued em for donkeys years for everything from servicing, to bodywork, tuning, engine and gearbox rebuilds. Due to pick my type R up again on sat. Need to update it with the results, but up to date untill last week. Always welcome to come along for a nosey and a coffee on sat if you want. No obligation to buy anything :)

the colour, none uk colour, will be a parallel import from malta/cyprus. motorpoint would have been the original supplier in the UK. Difference between UK and euro spec is little, mainly the alarm and a few additional colour choices. I had a hawk the same colour. you can usualy tell from the fob/key as well.

Depends how far your willing to travel. I use scoobyclinic up at chesterfield.

Dyno map then finish on road is best. Dyno is more precises than road and also safer, however map does need checking on the road after.

make sure you get a boost and afr print out, thats the important bit

Good luck, you have been warned.
