I must of missed the plan to run an SC42 (or it took so long I forgot)
Great result, Engine Tuner have some cool stuff on their youtube channel (Like Harry’s car)
Yeh I bought the turbo and had it upgraded some two and a half years ago now, possibly longer. Lol
They are a brilliant crew at Enginetuner. Couldn't be happier I went with them.

Picked up the car today. Holy cow it's good fun. Martyn was so excited he sent me the graph last night when he'd finished mapping.
So my little SC42 upgraded turbo made a little more than its predicted 420 bhp figure. All the turbo upgrades and quality supporting mods were well worth it in the end. Final figure on pump fuel was 456 bhp.
Spools like an absolute animal and comes on full boost as early as the VF48 did before it, but with a while lot more behind it.
The car is being featured by Enginetuner this Friday as their feature car following a photo shoot today. I'll post up some more pictures when that's out.
fantastic result buddy, really happy for you. bet its a hoot to drive now
Awesome Andy, been a long time in the making & the bronze looks slick (maybe match the inlet manigold though ).
Bet you’re well happy & rightly so
Thanks mate, I'm really pleased.
There are still a few bits for me to fit that I didn't give to Enginetuner and I didn't want to totally swamp it with bronze, only on unusual parts like the fmic pipes. I'll post up some more pics when I progress it further.
Finally got my car delivered back yesterday. Very pleased. They ended up finding 2 small water leaks which were fixed, a slight boost leak from the BOV and Martyn also mapped in a few additional things for me while it was still down there. Everything is now perfect! It's finally holding coolant levels like it should do, boosting great and WOW does it drive well. It's an absolute animal and on high boost.
I was browsing ebay and thought I recognise that, who's is it? Then seen the ebay handle.
Sold? or testing the waters?
Sadly yes mate. I have already bought it's replacement, so Tuesday night an advert went up on Ebay and first thing Wednesday morning it was sold with deposit taken.
I'll be gutted to see this go and will have lost a fortune but thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Glad to say the new owner I know, I believe is on this forum and still local-ish to me.
Not surprised a forum member bought it, probably recognised your ebay handle just like me. I was going to suggest you add the forum link so people can see the build but no need for that now
