426bhp on a gt30 mate is ridiculous, you can make that on a 400bhp turbo...the gt30 is a 500-550bhp turbo from what I gathered.

i know that think my injectors weren’t very good (reflowed injectors) and a few other issues and after email after email I decided to just leave it and sort it at a later date that was 4 years ago lol but I hardly use the car but hoping to sort it this summer

Your spot on it must be a lag monster?Slow to pick up but then when it hits midrange hold on tight.SJ.

Fuelling can definitely hold back power,your car must of been mapped by a good mapper then,who would of picked up on that problem and mapped it safely....believe me a GT30R can kick some serious **** when its set up right.SJ.

Like I said had a few issues with it and so on so there be sorted this summer giving everything clears up I’m hoping with the new injectors and fuel rails and rotate the manifold it shall improve it. Yeah it’s a lag monster but hit 4000rpm and it comes alive I literally drive it 15 miles a week if that so it really doesn’t get used properly

bow rawle mapped and it even before we went out to map it said reflowed injectors are ****e and I need to buy some legit 850cc/1000cc so mapped it accordingly. Life got in the way as it always does car got put to the back of the que but don’t worry it will get sorted
