Dodgy iphone film at night - just to hear what it sounds like.

Just under 1bar at the minute
Good stuff... not tempted to go a little higher? or happy with where it is?
Seems a shame to have a forged motor and not run just a little more
It'll be going up to 1.3 ish soon. I kept it reasonable because I want to make sure everything was ok first

Sensible way to play it, who did your mapping for it? Andrew Carr?
Looking forward to video's of it running a bit more boost :race:
It was Andrew yes.
To be honest, it needs more boost. It's becoming 'normal'

Awesome what power are you hoping for at 1.3bar? love the sound too, Just gets me excited for next week when my car goes in. Only running a GT25 though.

I'd like that too, please could you PM me the cost of your turbo

Awesome!!
As some of you know I attended a rolling road session last saturday with the West Midlands lot, kindly organised by Martin.
Despite it being a great event; the day didn't turn out as planned for me as the car only ran 200bhp at the wheels - which was slightly worrying. I phoned Andy immediately and he was as concerned as I was. Andy managed to fit me in to see Scoff on Tuesday evening to assess what the problems might be.
So I toddled off to Cheshire last night to find out what we could do!
It turns out there is nothing wrong with the hardware......
However, Chris thinks the intercooler and pipe work are now restricting further power increases, as any more than the 15.7 psi its running didn't really make much difference - something to be addressed later in the year.
Here is a nice little graph showing a before and after:
Its MUCH better, the graph doesn't demonstrate how much smoother it is to drive and of course its considerably faster. Thanks very much to @Andyrg for sorting me out and to Chris@Efi Parts for remapping the car for me!

Andy uses scoff and andrew. but he managed to get it in with chris.
There was a few bits not right with the map sensor needed a filter.

Cheers mate
It was certainly worrying!
Woah, big difference in the map there! - you are gaining power from 3,400 onwards.
Yup - massive difference now, its vastly improved. (it goes rather well now
Does Andy only use Scoff for his mapping now?
Scoff and Andrew Carr
Ha ha, I thought I contained my annoyance rather well!
I expected it to be similar to what it is now yes...
Its the engine dynamics pipe work - I cant remember off hand what size it is.
There was some slight issue with MAP sensor readings for the ECU and the map wasn't quite right either.
Thoroughly decent chap - I imagine I'll be annoying him again in the future!
Agreed.
However, the 'before' run on that graph gives a very similar reading the to Viezu rollers (give or take 5bhp and assuming 15% posse) So I am reasonably confident it will be a good result there too!
Who would of thought a MAP sensor could cause so much hassle eh?

Great work, and a big difference. I love this turbo.

Glad you got it sorted George you certainly didn't look happy on the day.
Cars very nice and sounds awesome mate

Glad it's fixed mate
Great result mate! Must fly now
Cheers mate - not as quick as yours! (YET
)Thanks chap, if it looks half as good as yours when its all finished I'll be a happy bunny!
I was slightly shocked! Thanks for the kind words.
Me too!

The adaptonic has its own inbuilt one.
4 bar?

Yes

Not really a fault, Georges car wanted a restrictor in the vac line, the signal during vacuum was a little jumpy. These engines with low compression don't pull much vacuum at light throttle and it's critical that we keep that signal as smooth as possible there if we want the car to drive nicely on the road.
