Time for a 3rd gear launch
I am not about to start racing anyone I am pretty sure even if my car was faster Aaron would beat me. He is a pretty good driver
Oh and for the record copied from TDICLUB.
Terms:
Stage I usually refers to a chip upgrade or nozzles only.
Stage II usually refers to chip AND nozzles.
Stage III usually refers to hybred or non-stock turbo, nozzles and chip. .
Change the title to suit.

Looks like the ECU has adapted some more with some more spirited driving
You can rally hear the cold air feed and TIP sucking in a lot more air. My god she is quick now just cant believe how hard the car pulls to red line. 2nd gear is ferocious, she just scrambles for grip which is making me think the Falkens just arnt up for this type of weather and power. I may have to consider my options on that front come summer. Maybe a move to the new Falken 912's would be better suited for UK weather?

Well at the moment its looking like a no - depends what power output she gets on Saturday and whether Kenny is 100% happy with it. Kenny tuning the car really opened my eyes on how good he is at his job tbh...he just knows how to get the best out of them.
Currently I cant imagine it getting any better. Like I said before knowing its got another 30BHP under its belt is amazing.

Big Turbo Impressions #Day 4 - Final Thoughts

Slick popped round mind last night and had a good chin wag about the cars in general. Showed me the wingnut mod perfectly executed
so now its up to me to mod spare EGR I got in the garage.
Slick and I went out in the car to show him what it could do. I am pleased to report he gave it the thumbs up and confirmed that its like a ballistic missile once on boost.
What we did agree on was the Falken 452's just are not up for the power especially in second gear. Granted the weather isnt the best however they should cope better. When these run out I have agreed to go for Toyo T1-Rs. Hopefully this should give me better grip in general. Another option is R888's? Too expensive in my view.
What about these? They got rave reviews: HANKOOK K 110 V12 EVO

Maz - greasy cold roads and almost 400lb/ft of torque does not make for grip no matter what tyres you have
What about F1 Asym's? I thought Pat had them on briefly before he minced them within a few thousand miles. (Yet another meet question).
