Cheers buddy ill drop him a line later and get some sorted.

Frayz what are your thoughts on a fmic over Sti tmic on a set up like mine? After deleting the tgv and fitting a vf34 I'm wondering whether I should fit a fmic at the same time so to save on mapping etc for the future.

No probs there then Frayz already have both. Was thinking to do it now so I have it done for the future though. Been looking at jap speeds fmic although if Dawn has any left over from Harvey's bits then may buy one

Car went for another geo set up with jake today. Rears are out as he explained I need to get some rear camber bolts to get it right so on the hunt for some.
Not gave it a good drive but am sure it'll have a few more tweaks before its spot on.





Before



After



Your thoughts welcome

Martin

So hopefully this turns up tomorrow vf34 turbo





Sure Stewart won't mind me using his pics until I get some of my own this should hopefully go on next week with the Sti inlet then mapped.

Can anyone see any noticeable difference between these two graphs?

Stewart's graph vf34 on a 2.1 stroker



My graph of the td04 hybrid on a 2.0



Cheers

Had a good day today

Firstly had the vf34 fitted and then a Sti Inlet to remove the wrx butterflies. Want to say a huge thanks to Neil and Scott @ Scoobyspares again even though we came across a problem managed to fix it and get me on my way to go see Andrew Carr for a map tweak.

Met up with Andrew and went for a drive after the session I was over the moon with the way the car drove. Making a healthy 343bhp with similar torque it actually does pull like a train now

All in all a very good day and can't wait to take the car out again
