If your next door neighbour was in i can imagine her peering out giving you major evils, just cause she loves you so much lol :D

hahah That Would be entertaining...

Got some more Engine Bits this morning...

Ive been reading Wilko threads When he had a IHI on Revo stage 3 and he seen some excelent fiqures with it Plus it Performed briallint aswell
And he used the GT28.62 file and Pegged the boost...but Its still a Open option for me...

Bill seems the best option for me as he's already mapped a vf23 on a golf...IRRC...

As im getting the engine rebuilt next month & Chatting to Bill at the moment for some Prices on a Stage 2 Devil Methanol Kit...

Id like to run a 50/50 Mix of water & methanol to allow that bit more ...

Alright man, hows the new build goin?
Got your old turbo up and runnin, its f*ckin awsum. Got a question tho. I bought the same pipework kit as you, universal 63mm. But even with huge band clamps the hoses still blow off. How'd you stop this? get a ridge welded on? flare the end?

Depending on how you are reading it 14.7 or 1 is stoich (sp). Higher than this is lean, lower than this is rich. 12 or 0.84 and below is rich/good on boost fuelling.

So your going to be running IHI with over 145k? Somthings bound to give way sooner or later, i`d know what i`d be spending my money on.

It may look pretty after the re-spray but if it does decide to go pop it will only be looking pretty on your driveway.

Just my 2p:)

depends if you are readin ti as lambda or as AFR

Stoich is lambda=1.00 (14.7 AFR)
>14.7 is leaner
<14.7 is richer

12.0-12.5 is a good number for best torque/power (0.81-0.85 lambda)

watch your egts tho.. & CF timing pull
