Great result, Engine Tuner have some cool stuff on their youtube channel (Like Harry’s car)
Yeh I bought the turbo and had it upgraded some two and a half years ago now, possibly longer. Lol
They are a brilliant crew at Enginetuner. Couldn't be happier I went with them.

Spools like an absolute animal and comes on full boost as early as the VF48 did before it, but with a while lot more behind it.



The car is being featured by Enginetuner this Friday as their feature car following a photo shoot today. I'll post up some more pictures when that's out.
fantastic result buddy, really happy for you. bet its a hoot to drive now

No no, I didn't think it was anything sinister at all. Just a water leak, slight weep from a pipe I suspect. Hopefully all sorted now.

Car drives so well. Puts massive smiles on your face at any speed in any gear. Sounds incredible.

Awesome Andy, been a long time in the making & the bronze looks slick (maybe match the inlet manigold though ).

Bet you’re well happy & rightly so

Thanks mate, I'm really pleased.

There are still a few bits for me to fit that I didn't give to Enginetuner and I didn't want to totally swamp it with bronze, only on unusual parts like the fmic pipes. I'll post up some more pics when I progress it further.

Thanks mate. Unfortunately I only have one video on the Dyno run and that is the exhaust flaming.

Finally got my car delivered back yesterday. Very pleased. They ended up finding 2 small water leaks which were fixed, a slight boost leak from the BOV and Martyn also mapped in a few additional things for me while it was still down there. Everything is now perfect! It's finally holding coolant levels like it should do, boosting great and WOW does it drive well. It's an absolute animal and on high boost.
