Performance:
Initially made 172kw atw @ 15.5psi, peak torque 460nm @ 2500rpm on pulse dyno with pulse reflash.
Then made 196kw atw with 19psi on 98 with the upgraded 2871 turbo, exh, fuel system and front mount etc
Then was retuned by matt (Kido Tuning) in August 2012 and made 255kw atw and 798 nm of flywheel torque at 2800rpm on e85 and 218kw atw on 98.
Has a run a best quarter mile of 12.21 seconds @ 107.5mph (best mph to date of 111mph). Will hopefully crack an 11 with the auto 5 speed box soon.
Has now made 278kw atw on 24psi with a faltering fuel supply issue which only allowed us to rev to 6000rpm. Going bac for retune on 23rd August 2013
Latest tune on 30th August 2013 made 307kw atw with a restrictive exhaust, which has since been derestricted although has not gone back on the dyno but 126mph trap speed indicates at least 330awkw.
Awaiting final retune with new Garrett turbine housing
Update 02/05/2014 - retuned by Matt on Autosports Dyno and made 409kw at all four
puts a smile on my face for now
Any comments \ suggestions welcomed
Thanks all
