Tbh compared to other hybrid dervs - it is down on torque. I believe air13u583848757 whatever his name is has the same power on his standard turbo!

The torque is a little low and I'm gonna put it down to the FMIC. It is an ok FMIC but I reckon the SS setup would make a difference. Maybe not much.

Combining the two of the best graphs I have 230bhp and 330ft/lb of torque. But the drivability is AMAZING.

The power is SO smooth and you give it the juice alot sooner than you could before. It fills the 30psi boost gauge with ease. I gave it a quick blast near our end (after doing about 100 miles on the motorway) and I think it did go off the 30psi gauge. But then it tends to level out at high 20's.

The noise is AMAZING. The whistle is something else and the exhaust note is SPOT on. The car is SO much more fun to drive. The power is MUCH more usable and Will has even flattened out my flywheel judder!

Before I had 180ishbhp and 290ft/lb. But now it's just so much more......

So yeh, "bit down" on torque. But my GOD it's fun! :D

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much Will. :D

glad you are happy, remember the maps have to adapt so you may see more bhp and torque on the next rolling road ;)

Will said the injectors are maxxed out so it's giving all it's got. But it's SUCH a cleaner map! There's no smoke whatsoever really! It's just awesome! :D

Yeh the maps will adapt a little. And - the turbo has only done 150ish miles. It's still spanking new. So when it all beds in she'll be a beast. :D

My map on standard turbo was far too hard really. Nearly 190bhp on standard turbo, wasn't bad but smokey! Will said I could upgrade the injectors but then it'll get smokey. Tbh I'm happy now. Can't complain at over 200bhp in a car the size of this!

222bhp and 355ftlb mate

See the only difference I can see is that he has a mahoosive IC. I dunno. Like i say I'm happy anyway. Figures are just bar talk. Driving quality is what matters. :)

It doesnt spin as much now! It's amazing! Cos there isnt such the lump in the map.

AND I still got an average of 52mpg on the way home! That was having a LITTLE bit of fun. Not caning it as it's still a new turbo so dont wanna knacker it.

I'll try to but I expect all you'll hear is wind noise. :( Sounds so nice though - boosts up to 20psi and then 20-30 is just :drool:

Nice numbers, Ash :)

Cheers Fella! :D

Mmmm see you on the hybrid side soon - this is just making me want it more!

I thought you'd just changed your turbo? :lol:

I've just been out with someone down here in their mapped LCR too and I'd say they must be pretty damn close! The only thing is they have SUCH as usable first gear! Which I'm uber jealous of.

He said he didnt think mine set him back in the seat as much as he'd have thought - but I saw out the corner of my eye he was going back in the seat far enough. He said EXACTLY how I feel. "It didn't seem THAT quick until I looked at the speedo." It doesnt seem THAT quick but it is! Cos the speedo just flies up.

So remapped LCR is equal to me, can't be bad lets be honest? For a car that started off with 100bhp and about 120ish less ft/lb of torque than it has now.

Yeh it's not gonna eat Evo's or whatever but its still RAPID for a DIESEL car of that size! Certainly give some things a damn good chase! :D

Glad your happy with it although i expected more of a shock with the new power? Am i right in saying it's not quite what you expected? I'll be getting it done anyway this year sometime.

Looking forward to the video.
