I think I'd be having the map checked, just to be on the safe side.

Yes just been imported and mapped to run on V Power, Streamline Garage who have been dealing with BIG builds and imported tuned cars for 20 plus years.

I got the car through HJA and have to say the condition is like new, not a flake of rust anywhere. Are the engines strong on these, its currently running 1.0/1.1/1.2 bar boost,I've been told it could go to 1.4 or 1.6 but don't know much about them?

Yep EVOS are good 1x Tommi Mak and 1x full nut and bolt re build 450 BHP 6RS,Teg type R is also a Turbo running 450BHP

Would appreciate any thoughts on next upgrades, should I go forged and what do these easily run at ?

All you need to know is don't turn the boost up with the controller. Let the map look after the boost

Sack of the daft boost controlled and get it mapped properly would be a good starting point.

Cheers guys, took the car out tonight and used 1.2 bar and have to say this car feels like its got circa 450/500BHP. We don't actually know if the engine is built or not as there was a lack of info from Japan when the car was imported. Need to stick it on the Dyno at some point.There is no way that it could hustle down the road like it does carrying that weight with 300-350HP?

Interesting times

That rear end is ****!

Being an import it will have a twin scroll turbo which reduces lag, could be why it feels quicker then it is.

First thing I would do is get it to TDI (Near Lakeside) and get it on their hub dyno to see what power it is actually making.

As others have said, get rid of the boost controller and get a custom map to control everything.

Enjoy driving it for a little while. If it feels quick enough at the moment then maybe start with suspension upgrades. Anti roll bars, anti lift kit, high castor wishbones. Hell you could even go for tubular sub-frames.

Well that rules that out then, just can believe how a reasonably stock car that's heavy feels so responsive but I'm not complaining! It's not like I'm not used to power as my last R34 was 720ATWHP ��
