Don't know if this will be allowed to stay on or if it will get ejected as it wasn't that I was racing or anything, but it seemed the guy in a T/A might have been...
Today I passed a slo-mo and the crappy looking old Trans Am behind me followed along and was keeping up with me. He had a funny looking hood scoop along with bad paint, but must have had something good going on under that funny scoop. I don't know if he had more or if I was now the slo-mo????

Whilst we were at it, had a moment...not sure if it's a Yes or a No vote but having the gloss wrap out got me thinking....  David Proctor says it wasn't his idea ,he was just the applier and not the designer...  :signLOL:
....just to be abit different

Not strictly today more ... this week. Had an awsome week and spent a load  :drinking: tokens in getting car sorted - now its done here's the whole hog (some of you may be bored because of whingeing elsewhere - tough i :rolleye: ts the first time since March with no warning lights!!!!!!!!!) :signLOL:

In the last few weeks needed a new i/c, fuel pump (standard) and multiple breather pipes and bits and also a DV change.  :sad1:

As standard car showed about 200 bhp (and don't forget that includes a TBE!) :ashamed:

That was done and car was mapped to Revo engine Stg 2 & DSG Stg 1 on Monday -  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: and the dyno showed about 240bhp - but was told there's a lot more to come because twintake not arrived and there was a small boost leak somewhere (about 0.2 bar).

Then had Twintake fitted and oil service - then re-dynoed =  :driver: much better! flatter torque line and a real pull - but not too sure about darth vader's appearance. Still 0.2 bar down on boost. Had a smoke test which was inconclusive so ...

Went back today and get a new N75 fitted and got all pipes checked.

So without any further software meddling -  :congrats:  :pomppomp: :star::congrats: Words don't do the change justice.

All the dirty work done by Steff at Muzz Race and the clean work done by Craig at GotBoost performance both in Bridgend, South Wales.

Don't care about the numbers - but I've got the results tucked away as I'm chuffed to bits but skint!!! Now saving for an 80k service (including DSG and cambelt) along with fitting of chassis mods around Christmas.

^^^^ use V Power every time but if you can't get any (the recent farce with the strike that never was) I would go with Tesco momentum 99. Personally didn't notice any difference with my Eddy.
