I go over the car top to bottom normally fresh plugs and fuel filter ,clean air filter,tyre pressures and brim tank to the top(easy to use a tank full when road mapping)
On a previous v1 wrx I had the ignition coils failed at 1.3 bar
Took a fortnight to get another slot from mapper.
2 days off work- 1 set of coils ,3 tanks of juice and 2 lots of mapping ,expensive ,probably added £500 to mapping costs.
Totally agree, mate.

Sorry, are you saying yours is a 2.5, or that it would work better on a 2.5? The V seems to perform nearer it's claimed figures but Iv not heard of one on a 2L. Perhaps I need one of these for 450 on V power.

Yea mine drives OK too but I'm sure it'd drive even better with another 20 horses on V Power. My plan was to have 450 on V Power & not have to mess around with Meth for my power goal. My Meth map was meant for when I wanted that little extra for occasional use. I now feel I want Meth in the tank all the time to have the power I want on tap, which was never my intention. My RCM 400 did 410 on VPower so the MDX is a bit of a let down eventhough it drives well.

bit hard to say richard a full time mapper like andyf would build a nice safe map ,he would be looking for the "sweet spot" in the boost ignition and afr plots, i,m sure if you told him you "needed" another 19bhp he could squeeze the **** out of the turbo to get the magic numbers.
the 2.0 litre engines respond really well to head and cam mods.
good numbers from bolt on mods really(turbo,headers exhaust,intake injectors,fuel pump).
i wonder whether the 450 cars are the exception rather than the norm when tuning the 2.0 engines

We all know Andy is one of the best mappers & I'm sure he has got as much out of it as he safely can. 430 on a 2L is respectable, but I'm just wondering what needs to be done to see 450 on a 2L on VPower & if anyone has done it & with what spec. There are other turbos which do give 450 on a 2L.

I know 450bhp has been achieved on VPower with a 2ltr standard engine Newage STI... albeit the JDM variety (of the ones I know).
I suspect the tubular twinscroll headers help out here, but you'll need a good set-up altogether to achieve it.
Mine will achieve 450bhp and I know another that has done 450bhp.
Mine on 20% meth does 490/475 (the meth circa 10% power increase) - which is pretty mental for a standard 2ltr engine with standard position turbo.
Both cars are JDM Hawkeyes and both using the LM billet turbos..... which are very similar to the MDX range.

Who mapped it and what boost you running.
IMO the JDM Hawkeye 2ltr is at the top of it's game, so figures I would suspect on these engines (inc. headers and up-pipe), are best case scenario (for the masses).

I could be wrong, but I *think* the widetrack JDM STI has the same heads and cams as the previous model SPEC C's (which were wilder cams and bigger ported heads).
On the turbo I have the standard lump is consuming as much air as the turbo can give.... any more boost and the turbo is pumping hot air. I could certainly get away with a bigger turbo on this engine.... although I suspect the engine might not keep consuming air (without ****ting it's pants), much over 490bhp's worth.
