Rob, don't change it, just get your ass up to Aberdeen and let Matty @ Wallace set it up for you

Rob, I would stick with the Apexi and have a JAP tunner try and set it up for you.
I had mine done from Power engineering with a big thanks to Bill (Badger5) and JP (JNL Racing) the chaps at Power engineering got the important they needed from both, had the car for a week after eventually using the Dyno Dynamics RR set up my Apexi AVCR. N75 valve is still plugged in but only for the ECU. Boost is being controlled by the Apexi..

Yes I need to get to Wallace as they said they set them up all the time and can do mine easily in an hour on their dyno. Once the engine is run in I'll get back up to Aberdeen and have it set up by them.
rob, what size was the magnet thingy that goes on your oil filter?70-87mm?looks like a good idea as ive passed a 114k on my leon now and everything still standard internally.what was order time like?
Nothing much to report, still trying to put miles on it, done around 100 miles so far. But all is well, sounds very healthy, not losing any oil or coolant, oil pressure and temps are normal, no leaks anywhere - it's all good! 
Next job to be done is the headliner - going to remove it and cover it in black alcantara. I have the material and glue, just got to do it, don't know whether to try it over the winter or leave it until next spring.

Rob, knowing you I doubt you would have it sitting and not do it so might as well get it done now.
Looking forward to getting a spin we you some time once all is run in.
Danny said you took him around KH a few time and said your car felt very fast and capable then so will be great to see what it feels like now.

True!
That was a while ago now, I took Danny and Rich for a few laps round Knockhill, I was running around 265bhp back then.

I take it your going to screw everything up to the max with this set up (once all is run in) and see what you can squeeze out of it?
Would be a waste of uprated rods if you didn't give them a good try out.
Whats you engine build good for now (in theory)?

Oh easily
If a GT2871R can do 370bhp, and you give it a little hand with the WMI, that'll be a rather tasty 400 ponies to play with...... ace!!

According to Bills calculations and after dialing in 8.5 degrees of timming with the WMI my cars well into the 400bhp rage... so its possible but I'd just like to add that I have a lot of extra's to support that on my engine.

Nothing much to report, still running well, no oil or coolant being used, nothing in the way of blow-by in my catch can either so the piston rings are good, managed just over 200 miles so far - only 800 to go!
Next update will be the INA pulleys being fitted.
