Warwick said that it may have had a previous tune, but was obviously not done very well....

he managed to get pretty decent power figures, and the car drives brilliantly. The noise is also incredible

cannot wait to pick it up tomorrow

If a certain Stephen has the car on Friday and I have my GT-Four, I might be tempted to trade car keys at lunch time (seeing as he's been asking for my car keys)... might!

like I said, it might have been tuned previously. That base power run was also with the CAI, TBE and Walbro installed without a tune....

But I am very pleased with the car nevertheless

Just a quick explanation on the initial 150hp.

Look at the boost curve on the first run. The boost maxed at 1.6bar and then instantaneously dropped to 0.8bar. This happens as the boost PIDs had been tampered with previously and have maxed up the integrals which pull the boost back, leading to a faulty boost curve and largely decreased power output.

Glad you are happy with the driveability now Brett.

Thanks for the clarification Mao,

I can't describe how much better the car is to drive....general cruising, its very smooth, no flat spots between gear changes.
The turbo spooling is a totally new experience now....refined power

Thanks once again to you and Warwick.

Prodrive replica front lip courtesy of Ultrex arrived and was installed this morning. Car is now desperate for some low. Coils are ETA of November + sway bars and anti lift kit.
