Yea, deffo recommend it for the price as its half the price of the Firge & ITG offerings  :wink:

Throttle responce does seam better/crisper and  power feels stronger across the whole rev range  :happy2:

hi mate
ive just "aquired" one lol and noticed you havent added the heat shield etc- does it make much difference with or without?
i seem to remember a thread with this info in it-a mini debate wether its better with or not..... any plans for engine cover?
thanks
matsu

The heat shield at the back of the engine over the turbo? I have fitted that  heat shield mate  :happy2:

At some point I will pick up a second engine cover and modify it to fit and prob paint it too  :smiley:

Do you know what was the at the wheels reading?
Have you had it on the PDT dyno yet?

No, is not been on PDT's rollers, Geof.

Power at the wheels was 293bhp. Which isn't too far out....

A lot of the higher powered cars had problems with traction on the rollers due to VERY cold tyres and also poor tyres..
Even mine was spinning up in 4th  :confused:

It was freezing outside but it was actualy warm inside the dyne, Dave. The temp probe for the dyne was quite close to the cars..

Is yours stage one?

Stage 1 mate..

I know my results are not right, realisticly +30-40bhp out... Just posted the graphs for a laugh realy (although they are nice enough graphs if you dont look at the numbes (or the clutch slip..))..

Being Dastek rollers then the figures must be 100% correct! lol!

Going back to page 5, the car looks damn tasty after the wash.  :drinking:
