Yes went for a quick power run the day after manifold swap but had issues so couldn't carry on
Had smoke pouring out exhaust because of oil down up pipe , and turns out leak in fpr vac , and it was detting , and dropping of boost like a stone
Thought it might have cracked ringland but all is well on that front
Thought it might have too much timing , so double checked it all and seems ok
Went through manifold , vac and boost pipes and basically started again on the mechanical side and it seems all good again
Got a slight niggle at high boost around 20 psi but I shouldn't really be running up there any way
So you can count that if you like , but be a little unfair

Toneh im not trying to make a mockery of you at all but your singing the DIY mapping tune but yet you have just admitted your car is detting most likley due to your diy mapping mate. Factor in all the messing around and rr expenses you will have run up and it would be easier and cheaper to get a real mapper in would it not ?
But went away re did what I had done and it's ready too roll agian
It's now pulling well again holding boost and all good , the map is basically the same , timing same , running little more fuel
Will have to see

I had literally done the manifold , fmic , ect the day before it had random leaks , a lot of smoke and tbh I was a little hasty

I'm assuming you mean me ?
If so manifold is now reversed , meth/water is on a few more tweaks
And nearly ready for the big day lol
I've pmd stu a few times @ Motorsport developments
So I'm gonna be taking a run up there ( nice and impartial run )
Probably be shortly after crimbo now

Yes 30/70 mix ,
tbh I've made a fair few changes to the car over the last couple of weeks and it's been a little all over the place recently , now it's settled down and seems back on a level I will start doing some experimenting , different mix vs timing , afr , boost ect , and see what's what
I've blanked off my washer bottle to use for my w/I and mounted a little corsa washer bottle & pump for windscreen on the inner wing below fuel Filter , makes a neat little job

I chose 30% meth as a starting point
But obviously there are a lot of factors , nozzle size , meth mix , timing , fuel , afr
I don't really want to go mad running timing and leaning out in big steps so I'm not really utilising it properly yet
Until I learn a lot more about it

Gains can be had the more you go, but it has been deemed that the biggest initial bang for your buck comes from a 20% mix (and I'm sure that this includes a cost element as well) for normal use.

The most common Meth mix is 20% in fuel tank, but surely Meth/water mix is hard to calculate as a percentage on this basis. Harvey ran an in tank Meth mix & the Meth/water injection system on his V3 wagon & had fantastic results using a twin scroll 46. It's this system I was considering but using a smaller turbo like a 42.

I'm all for financial gain and if you're willing to pay what someone is charging for something all well and good regardless if people say something is too expensive. Obviously not for the person who's paying for it otherwise they wouldn't pay would they??!! I've no problems with that at all.
However, not dishonestly, not at the cost of anyone's reputation, especially ones own, and not without singing the praises of and giving due acknowledgement and respect to those good folks over at RR that have spent much time, energy much head scratching to bring OS to the masses, private or commercial. In this case Carberry.

By the way I hope to god youre NOT calling your mapping 'ROM performance' as I see no info on carberry
Now that would be wrong wouldn't you agree

Now then Francis,,,,, I knew you was a mapper that's why you couldn't answer my question on it, and I understand now why you are defensive on certain aspects of this all.

So this guy is a paid mapper as we suspected !
The same guy that was hell bent on slagging Andy carrs mapping skills ( saying he's blown engines ) ?
The same guy that said let o/s mappers charge what they like ?
The same guy that talks about honesty ?
So it seems you want to make as much money as you want fella and by trying to drag another mappers skills through the mud ?
What was it you were saying about bees and stinging
Well folks here we have another case of our great mapping scene
A guy that thinks it fine to charge whatever and seems he ain't to bothered how he achieves that goal
Get you're wallets out guys and keep on paying that hard earned
Unbelievable

Don't about about BloodHound, i was thinking more ****su.
Perhaps you need to go and take a longer look for the correct info. Come back next week and you might know a bit more!!
If you're going to take the **** at least try and be original. It's like being back at school in short trousers!! Silly boys!!

Youre only making yourself look worse and by the nature of that reply i take it as the info i have is true.
I can also prove my facts mr ROM PERFORMANCE .unlike you cant prove that andy blew engines up

Mate i was told by my parents not to pick on those less fortunate than myself and since your IQ is obviously in keeping with your post count i shall cease and desist, might i suggest you slither back to your pond.
