Wherabouts in cornwall are you?

 

what bhp did it come out on the rollers

 

haha put it this way come back pretty shocking and no wonder i thought it was under powerd lol basically gta spend a cupl hundread quid and it'l be back up to 270-280ish

 

near st.austell

 

Just out off intrest mate what was exact BHP it pulled

 

Went straight over my head that one, care to explain?

 

So, do we know what bhp it got, yet?

 

Well, you picked on the guy's spelling but you wrote "might of" instead of "might have". I'd say that was pretty ironic.

 

My eyes are bleeding.

 

Come on now lads put your handbags and spell checkers away. Kiss and make up

 

came back at 231 which martyn said isnt to bad for the year , can expect it to be anywere between 220 and 260 , but with a little set up will be back up to 270ish !

 

That was bad grammar though.

 

If it hasn't got a bleed valve fitted, how was the boost supposidly raised before? Different ecu, daughter board chip? Sounds like the previous owner didn't have a clue and took you for a ride! If it is kicking out 230bhp and hasn't had been tuned, (i.e. had the boost raised) then for the year, even with a decat, that is bang on the money. Make sure you're not being led up the garden path by your 'expert', because, no offense, I would say that you sound as if you are a bit easily led anyway!

And from personal experience, I would ditch the induction kit in favour of a standard airbox and uprated panel filter. You WILL reduce intake temps giving a better scope for tuning. Many scooby engines go bang due to high intake temps. You asked for advise so I am giving it!

Check out the filtration test results in the link below. Wouldn't want all that crap going in my engine!

well at the min its boosting on 0.9 bar , n the packing in the exhaust is blocking the back box ,new box goin on tomoz so shuould giove me a bit more bhp , m8s got a p1 and has ha dlots of other scoobes and thinks they standard boost at .7 ish so somehting has been done , not really been led up the garden path just knew it was underpowerd once i had driven it but i had had the car up on the ramps etc and now that everything on it is sound , so not really to fussed about a couple hundread quid here n ther to get it bk up to power ! whats peoples views on the piggy back ecu scenerio ? worth the money or waste of money ?

 

I know if I'd just bought a car on the premise that it had 280-290 BHP (as you quoted in your first post) and found out that it was only 230 BHP... I'd be pretty miffed.

Just get a proper ecu and get it mapped

 

yeh was abit miffed but as soon as i drove it properly i knew it was under powerd no big deal rly ,just abit annoyin to be honest but on the bright side could o come back at 180bhp like my m8s wrx did lmao he was jumping
