give it a lil bit of time mate you will have that 50bhp back no probs!

Anything thats around 450/450 is going to be a hell of a drive and i'm sure there will be a little more to come once a few more miles are under your belt.

It would do me
Im sure this is an animal and whats better is its also very drivable so thats a big plus!
I went in dylans car with him the other day and **** myslef can only imagine what this kind of power is going to feel like!

Little bit of an update,

Took a wee trip down to Plymouth to get my MOT and idling problem sorted. Put it on the rollers for a slight tweek too, produced 475/460 @ 1.7bar so it's creeping up to the magic 500

Martyn said I'll need to get a Bosch 044 fuel pump and swirl pot in the engine bay to get the fuel needed to up the boost to 2bar, as the injectors were on 100% with the Walbro I've got fitted. This will get done about Feb time probably

Stil feels a hell of a lot quicker, had wheel spin in 3rd today AND a telling off by plod coming off the Severn Bridge tolls

It looked like he was having a bad day so I thought best not

I didn't see him in the toll next to me, had the anti lag on as I was approaching the tolls and just floored it from them the only reason he caught me was of the car in front of me He said he heared me coming, don't know how

well done fella and good power can't wait to get mine on the rollers after christmas with JGM and have him to tweek it as he said mine feels over 450 bhp now and thinks he still has loads left but wanted to tweek on rollers as it gets scary in a classic with the gear box dccd locked open at something like 65% + rear wheel drive think i need a newtronix diff controller

can't wait to see it fella and will both have to take each other for a quick spin
