Well done! Intercooler and 10psi next! If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Great news what boost is that running?
I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

It's a standard box, mg metro cam and standard pistons. It's running 8psi atm, he did ask if I wanted it turned up to 10 but I graceful said NOOOO! It drives and sounds lovely, I'm really happy with it. Looking forward to driving it the 120miles tonight unless the alternator still squeals! The map we had was totally wrong so we've got a nice one for our set up (: but after a good two hours at the rollers it was definitely worth it! I'll get a decent video tomorrow after work when it's quiet on some nice long straights They don't die, they just get faster! |

Pulls like a train uphill without too much effort, not much torque steer and as yet no wheelspin even though the roads are damp and it's on 145 falkens, quite chuffed with the tyres tbh. It did try and pull me across the road once though when it gave it a bootful, was fun On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

The quest for more power and less weight is a sure way to making your car unpleasant. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

It made it home! I didn't really give it a fair test as I am terribly nervous when I drive in the dark, I hate it! Although when I hit the m4 I went from 50 to 70 a LOT quicker than I expected haha. They don't die, they just get faster! |

This has only taken about 10weeks to do! Like everything though the first time takes longer to figure everything out. This isn't finished! Needs a new paint job now :( They don't die, they just get faster! |

In the politest way, no. Do a search for a base map like we did to get you going, I've actually created a topic for 998 maps but I think only two posted theirs, just ignore the stupid petty comments from coopdog.

Yeah I think most people (the million people who have owned it) wanted this to get done just to see how the turbo does haha. They don't die, they just get faster! |
