Got my car tuned by Matt from Kido Tuning last weekend and am very happy with the results
The car is much nicer to drive around town and has the torque when you need it. My favourite part of the tune is how you can now load up the torque converter, it actually launches really well and it has no trouble spinning all four in the wet.

I am trying really hard to resist the urge to buy a new turbo and chase more power....

Anyway here is another pic I took the other day.

Great catching up mate, car looks and sounds great!

Road tuned or dyno ? Psi ?

Car was road tuned and from memory sport mode is set at 15psi and sport # 16psi.

16.4psi S#

13.2psi Sport

10psi in Intel(WG pressure)

Why such low pressure in sports sharp isn't 18psi the normal

Mainline dyno, 770Nm@2700rpm in the autos with a 2000rpm ramp start and has flat torque thus therefore cylinder pressure to 4000rpm. I have IHI VF compressor charts, I revised boost pressures on VF's a while ago. Check the boost pressure BBB is running, you dont need 18+psi to make 150Kw@3200rpm

You're talking about peak boost newbie. Matt usually quotes the psi figure at the moment it makes peak power. VF turbos don't hold the boost long so by peak power it's long lost peak boost pressure.

Went and visited Rob from Car Tint in Ringwood again to get my sunroof tinted. Once again Rob did an awesome job the tint looks really good especially against the black and has helped significantly to keep the car cooler.

Not a great pic but you can sort of see the nice metallic mirror finish of the tint.

Got my front bar repaired/resprayed as someone hit it and banged it up pretty good and of course didn't leave there details
And also installed my new RDA dimpled and slotted rotors and Bendix Ultimate brake pads.
The rear rotors were a bit of a PITA to get off but with lots of WD40 and hammering they eventually came off. It is supposed to be a lot easier if you loosen off the handbrake cable but I chose not to cause I am lazy

Here are a couple of pics



Next up is turbo inlet hose, dump, cooler and bov....and rear sway bar...followed by another tune by Matt.

I love the white wheels! I'm thinking my next set should be white
Sucks about the damage, did they damage anything else or just the bar? A fresh painted front bar must be good though, no more stonechips

Cheers mate was going to get black but thought I would do something a little different. The only problem with the white is that they get very dirty...and if you are a clean freak like me you will find yourself cleaning them all the time!
Nah just damaged the front bar, number plate and number plate cover so could of been worse. And yes it looks very nice now will have to be very careful to try and keep it that way

Installed my KOBE Turbo Inlet Pipe on the weekend. What a PAIN in the ass to install! Took me a solid 5 hours to get it on right....having said that if I had the right hose clamps it wouldn’t have taken me that long. But seriously has to be the most unenjoyable mod I have ever done to a car lol
Intake noise is a little louder but the car feels a bit sluggish since the install, must need a re tune to accommodate for the extra air.

Good work!
Yes - it increases the airflow before the MAF can see it so throttle tip in needs to be increased.

5 hours is a long time even for the inlet pipe, but somethings things just go wrong
