An update on the car, it will be for sale in the near future, nothing is wrong with it, its the total opposite where it's running great after the recent remap, plus it's just had a full £600 service at Chevron.

No mate i've not found another one. The engine on my car is fully forged, closed decked with 14mm head studs, you'd think that would be enough to run between 500bhp - 600bhp. I emailed Andy Williams who built the engine as Simon at Chevron Motorsport needed to know what the engine would be capable of running on the components that Andy put in, he said he'd guarentee it upto 1.8 bar of boost, that's fine for where it's currently at as its running 1.75 bar of boost but because the next upgrades would take the engine to around 2.0 - 2.2 bar of boost it left me with 3 options. Take the current engine out and start again from scratch, sell the car and let someone have a well sorted car and buy another modified one but only if the paperwork can prove it can run those kind of boost and power levels, or buy a stock untouched one and do the build from fresh.
The car is great, its been recently mapped by Bob and fully serviced by Chevron on thursday, i'll just enjoy it for a while if we get some dry days, i'm certainly in no rush to sell it yet but longer term and for the power i want she'll have to go unfortunately.
