355hp is only around 266kw so not quite that... but still... a good figure, alot of work but alot of power out of a unopened 257... good work. Will be keeping a eye out for this.

Thx for ur kind blessing. Its 275kw at wheel, and im not planning run 1.7 bar any way, I did this to prove the capability of zage gt2871 and mtq injectors, I don't mind to be the first one to try sth other than blouch and injector dynamics.

As far as im aware, knocking is the primary engine failure factor (catastrophic cylinder pressure). Fatigue is secondary. I did compression and leak down before ordering new turbo. I suggest u have a read on this:

Friend just sold his sti with 365whp on daily tuned by mao, showed 2psi cylinder pressure difference on stechnic compression test.

Retune is just like doing a fifth gear pull. If a tuner is cautious, he will do small adjustment at a time and back off when knocking is heard.

Can see the head of the bolt, but it appears to be embedded in the plastic end?
Oh well, all good

Hey Gordon - so with this kind of horsepower, will you be changing oil every 500kms now?

Here is a VF34(left) and GCG GT2871 (right) Mao is fitting on a GC8, they didnt take photos to compare my VF48 and my GT2871 . The turbine housing is similar size but compressor is bigger.

Like Nick's 1.5XTR, car lost mid range punch, and power becomes more linear running 1 bar. My plan is to slowly increase boost until my knock analyser sees knocking, then run a few settings below it, ie daily, track and drag.
