mines at around 380ish and 96k went from standard to 330ish at around 25k then up to 380ish at around 50k and now at 96k and hasnt missed a beat. Just the normal routine stuff and a clutch if you havent had one already

VF48 turbo with turbo blanket
3 port boost solenoid
harveys ported headers and special up pipe
650cc injectors

ive seen the above mapped at 380 , sothats what im hoping for .. maybe a lil more as i have the headers

Keeps it hot, and keeps the heat away from such things as the intercooler.

ill defo be going ahead with it lol just dont wanna do a rebuild before the summer. Will be interesting to see how it performs at scoobyshootout in october.

as for the turbo blacket.. as i'm on top mount, i thought it would be useful as it will keep under bonnet temperatures down. they are also suppose to help with spool as the heat is kept in and if anyone has taken physics heat is wasted energy, and if have knowledge about thermodynamics then you know the less heat loss you have from the system the efficiency of the turbo is greater...apparently lol

I'd be interested to see how you get on with this eggy790, it's my next upgrade path, not quite yet though as I was only mapped a month ago. Let us know how it does!
