Fitted a FMIC, retune (Diff tuner boost up from 1.3 to 1.5) and got 308hp and 380Nm. Modded the dump and ran the turbo with no boost restriction at all (cause motor could take it)...I think it was about 1.7bar and got about 320hp and dont know what the Nm was. So, its do-able.

More boost, more fuel. Have a good chat with the tuner and they will tell you whats happening and what is holding it back.

Difference was though, you had Spec C cams.

This is the thing... I've seen so many GC8's with similar mods, and hardly any of them crack the 300 because the cams are holding them back.

Not saying it can't be done, but you'll just need a shitload more boost thats all.
