Spoke to Revo and they feel that the engine wouldn't be safe with anything over the stage 2 map, so haven't any plans to develop an upgrade map for a hybrid turbo.  :sad1: this basically means I will be stuck at stage 2 unless I ignore Revo and fit the hybrid anyway without having a map to optimise it. Water/meth and the intercooler and rad should net me a few bhp, so it isn't all bad news. Deako is right to a point, I feel the car can take more power at the top end but whether the w/m gives it the extra oomph I don't know for sure yet?

Well that has saved you say £1457(1750euro) on a hybrid turbo and maybe another £100 on the additional revo mapping.

So what are you going to spend that £1557 on John.

If you cant make the extra bhp/ton by adding power, do it by shedding weight.

Seats, bonnet....

You are right, I've already found a carbon bonnet, but I'll need to fit a vent on it. Maybe look for carbon wings and even lighter alloys. Perhaps the bucket seats too.?

you definitely need lighter alloys.  Links for carbon bonnet please :party: 



because ill have yours :laugh:


What about a fibreglass bonnet, would that also be substantially lighter than stock,  but much cheaper than carbon?

Already ordered the I/C and Radiator anyway, but you are probably right, although I'll have some sticky rubber in February. 8)
