Eoeumc I think it was you passing through Westry around 6.30ish you had your fogs on. Bootsy at 4ishh today heading towards town from station road.
I was in the van so... Still waved tho

 

that was me mate

 

Lovely colour Is it standard or have you explored.

 

I think i saw you in town yesterday evening Bootsy ..... only saw the spoiler so wasnt sure lol.

i think i also saw a red classic near bar 23 the other night, cant remember which day though....

 

yes i have explored abit mainly just getting it ready for more power
engine rebuild
had play about with the gearbox
upgraded brakes
decat/air filter and a remap was done before i got it.i was told its running about 280bhp.think its about ready for td05 turbo in the new year


Frenchy-WRX
i've got a P1 spoiler now instead of the sti4

 

Yes that was me Frenchy. I told you it moves... Sometimes

 

Bootsy have you seen any TD05's for sale? Has'nt yours got the VF series turbo??? I have the TD05 on mine, a tad more lag but more puff around the higher rev range so i'm told.

 

Sorry, i'm cofused! (it's not hard to do)
You say you saw me at 6:30ish today but you put the thread up at 4:55

 

Sorry buddy, I saw you yesterday I think Bootsy today.

 

i've got a TD04 but a mate of mine sells turbos so soon as i've the money for remap/turbo i'm sorted

 

That was probably me then On my way back from Bowl today as my 2 boys were there with the March Soccer School
Where were you then m8?
By the way, I always drive with my driving lamps on

Just bought another BOV for mine and a Turbosmart manual boost controller. Apart from a couple of gauges to go in my pod, what would it need to be safe and go pop?

 

I have an MBC on my one its running 1.2 bar but its fun.
What BHP are you after?

 

I drove past your scoob about lunch time down station road.... parked up again tut tut. But i must admit the white wheels looks good!!

 

Did you drive through town about half 7pm ish on friday?
I was parked up at the George pub.....

 

yes i was about then i think

 

I know Iknow I'm always working see so therefore using my economical 1.8TD van. Thanks for the compliment
I want a scoop like yours next (STi8 is'nt it)
Nice scoob mate is it uk?

 

Not got a bhp figure tbh m8, just some more would be good
Someone on here said about having the car put on a rolling road once the boost controller is fitted. Do youknow if that's true or would it be more like a re-map or something even less?

 

Yes it is a STi8 Scoop and Yes it is a UK Scoob

A clean Scoob at the moment too.........

 

Mines been on a rolling road with just a Haywood and Scott Decatted System.... nothing more 234bhp though

 

I havn't had mine on anything Yet But before I put the controller on, I wanted to know what else I needed to do for safety reason to the engine. I do have a de-catted centre section and a Miltek s/s rear box now though.

 

PTS in Luton offer a rolling road test for around £50 and a compression test/mini tune for £150 or there abouts. A manual boost controller just gives you the option to increase/decrease boost by hand rather than the ECU doing it, so haveing it tested after would be up to you.
I had a manual boost controller put on mine as my boost/wastegate solonoid did'nt work, but you must be carefull not to over boost and destroy the engine.
Andy at ESL offers a good chip which I have'nt had any probs with, but thats for pre 96 models only and some people don't like the sound of chips although I went from 240 to 326bhp (with other mods).
