My last question is................
Twin or single for a P1?
I want better general pull and the turbo to spool up a bit earlier. It starts to pull at about 3750 and pulls freely round to 8000 if you want to thrash it that far, I tend to change up at about 7000.
Does the P1 have a big turbo and therefore want a certain type of DP?
I belive a lot have people have learnt an awful lot about this issue over the past few days with some very informative comments and some **** aswell eh Harj
Going for a play tonight with Andy O`Hara to see what its all about.thanks mate 
and see you later.

Arron,
have a chat with Graham Cowland at TSL, he can supply Scoobysport Items and group N/A stuff also.
I have been on the phone to them a couple of times over the last couple of weeks and they certainly know their stuff, and as for courtesy and customer care I can't think of anywhere that is better Graham is going out of his way to get me a couple of things.
Why not phone them and talk it over,

I have the same turbo as you and was advised that a large d/p would kill low down torque.
My experience of the twin dump into 3in does not support that experience. As I said in the previous mail I have full boost at 3100rpm, with 1 bar from around 2700rpm (which is around peak for a standard Jecs a la P1). Previously my turbo would hit 1 bar at around 3700-3900.
So if you imagine pulling your torque curve 5-800rpm ealier you get a feel for how your car will be after a twin dump - certainly no sense of low down loss. On the road I always feel as if I am a gear lower than I am a the car pulls much more strongly than before.
Also, being HPC coated there is no discolouration of the shiny silver even after a number of red of hot miles on track and thousands on the road.
