with a new cooler and exhaust, 290+ .. meg250 turbo will be bring me to 300 .. so ill be happy with a 300/300 car

the TD04-15L is capable of flowing around 325BHP and comfortably over that amount in ibft.

I have 313.5 and 325ibft on mine a while back.

I assume you have replaced your fuel pump buddy?

Great stuff mate, one thing I thought I'd mention.
I've seen a few megs on here with worn fuel pumps, it might be worth considering replacing yours with either a new standard pump or an up rated one, I would hate to see this engine fail because of a weak fuel pump, I think it's number 4 that suffers.

I'm sure Dan who's building the meg powered Clio has replaced the fuel pump.
Bang on.

This is the cause of ringland failure

Why is it so high? weird!

The interior is stripped hence the awful height.

I will be when it goes back for a dyno session :smile:

I didn’t know the standard turbos could run that high, fair enough!

I have BC racing coilovers coming this week, so only a few more days until it's back to a good height!


Looking at fuel set ups, I'm half tempted for a swirl pot set up, not sure yet.
BCs are great. I have a setup guide for them on my site if you need any pointers.

Swirl pot will be useful if over around 340BHP. I suspect you wont see that with the TD04-15T as its well outside its range. The only thing that concerns me is the low fuel starvation issue on the standard setup when on track.

If you have the cash , do it.

that'll be fantastic, i've no idea how to set them up if im honest with you!

i wont be going near 340, 310-320 maybe! .. If I can then yes, a swirl pot will be done, but from what i've seen the standard pump is still good!

Ahh height makes sense now!

I really want to cover my ass with a new pump, I'm going 630cc injectors soon, I don't want any dramas!

Lowered the front a bit more today, might leave it as that as certain speed bumps are scraping the splitter ..whoops.

Cars now booked in for a service and dyno session which means only two weeks left of granny driving, so excited.
Harnesses should be bought next month as well hopefully and then prepping it for the first track day of the year sometime in april if all goes to plan.

Looks good mate. Be good once it’s mapped and you can have a proper drive.

Won’t the alignment need re doing now you’ve lowered it more?

I should be there with the car first thing and afternoon time! I’ll probably have a black and gold ‘boosted’ hoody on!

No track this year, need a few things before it gets tracked
I haven’t planned what I’m wearing yet.... 😂
if I see you I’ll pop over!

so 95% of my eyelets came for the harness today .. i cocked up and didnt buy an M10 .. so that should be here before friday and HOPEFULLY get it fitted before Spring action day!

small mock up, may end up selling the bucket seat, harnsses and recaro's are comfy as for a road car anyway!
