Lovin the little update. Those rods are awesome. If you get time can you explain how i get round fitting those 20mm rods to my 21mm s3 8p? Do they need redrilled for the oem pistons? Thanks, Stevie.

Cheers yin much appreciate the reply. Perfect. Cant see the need to uprate the pistons, renew the rings along with uprated bearings i think job will be a good one for 450+. Stevie.

Well we have boost now.  Started slowly at 1.4 bar to make sure all was well, then up to 1.6 peak.  Spool is really fast, like k03 fast, but holds so much more at the top.  There is more in it and currently running boost 8, fuel 9 and timing 6.  Hot day today and maf figures were lower than I expected so I will put my spare maf on.  Fuel pressure is spot on and no dips around the 5k mark.

Happy, but I could be happier.

so, we must surely be fully run in by now then.  When we getting dyno results then? would be good to see them overlaid over your K03 Stage 2+ curves

Tbh I've not had a chance to play with setting or the actuator, but its fast. Peaks at a nice 1.8 bar very slowly dropping to 1.4 at 7k. Pulls to 160mph very easily. I have a performance box at work I need to chuck in the car to get some numbers from.

I'll try and get down the dyno in a few weeks. Prob when I get back from Spain.

Soon my dear, soon.  I will get over to Marlins when I have a free min.

I could really do with some S3 cams.  Just bought some TTS front hubs so cams will have to wait a few months.
