It's a really peaky curve for the power and all that power comes in quite early in the rev range. A K04 hybrid would give a much better curve. I've been a passenger in this car and it really is MENTAL James wanted all out crazy power, and that is exactly what he got. Niki spent 3 days and 2 tanks of fuel getting this right on the dyno. At JKM dyno day it made more power than a BT setup and nearly pulled itself out of the dyno Niki wouldn't send any average joe with this level of power, unless they understood what they were letting themselves in for (like James) it's a real specialist setup. Would love to see what Niki could do with yours Pikey his new VVT mapping would help to spool that turbo earlier for starters It has cross my mind.. Revo are good to me though so wouldnt be an overnight decision

How was the SMF Helix Kit, James? Sorry for the revival? I'll be at similar power soon so you are the vest person to ask!Im currently sachs dmf / organic, which has been great and civilised as daily at 360hp
Only just seen this.Yes i now own this car.Clutch is very heavy but you get used to it. It has managed to break 4 sachs master cylinders and 2 FTE Masters. Also one fluid damper thingy....I have changed to a 1 piece braided line to help with it.
