I told him i had went round and checked the hoses but i only checked the ones in the engine bay forgot to take fog covers off so my fault for being lazy

 

hi Peter, did'int know you were mapped again when did you get it mapped by andy? and what was the before and after figures and is the only thing you have added is the fmic?

As Jura says above I have run a couple of japspeed fmic's over the years with no problems but maybe this one has a faulty core or something up with it?

Grant

 

Awright grant car was mapped wednesday before was 414bhp 378torque after map with just fmic changed 389bhp 354 torque took the car to gi where gaz pressure tested it and it was 4loose clamps straight out intercooler at battery side mate

 

yeah clamps need to be tight as on these things or they just blow off as well, so I assume you were maybe hoping for nearer the 440 mark then? what turbo you got in that again peter I forget?

 

i think your gonna have to bite the bullet pete and go for a 2.1 or 2.35 lol

 

425-430 would have done me mate it the ra aet td05-20g billet mate hows yours goin

 

Looking that way mate much is a 2.1

 

mines is going great peter since andy mapped it i cant complain, and i would say around the 3k mark for a fully built 2.1 stroker

 

Nice one grant and glad the car is running well mate

 

Any update peter, as it would be gd to know if the issue was just the loose hose and not something else

 

Excellent advice about the FMIC pipes. I am booked in with Andy F on Fri 18/10 for a remap following on from a rebuild. I installed a FMIC and will definitely make sure all the connections are tight. Any other advice prior to getting the remap sessions complete.

I am new to scoobie tuning and hopefully everything will be ok. I have gone for a 2.5 Sti bottom end this time with the 2 Ltr heads.

 

Tom car is with my mechanic he has checked my turbo just incase but its fine hes goin to try a tmic on it we will see whwt happens

 

Contacted the supplier yesterday he cant believe the cooler made me lose power well i cant see where else ive lost it as its the only thing changed will see how my mechanic gets on

 

Bit confused here, I thought you said it was loose clamps?

Loose clamps got tightened up went bwck to andy forrest only thing that helped was wastegate duty still 389bhp
