Ok then, so g/s is a pretty accurate reading to go by?

Highest I had previously was 135g/s (169bhp) but I don't think I reached the top of the rev range then.

Have no receipts of it being mapped and car only had multi-spoke alloys and lowering springs when I got it.

EDIT: Thanks Lee :)

I've searched and have seen others say 1.5bar is standard map (mine is 1.7 peak with 1.4/1.5bar held), my boost does stay above 1bar all the way to 4.5k though. May have to just whack it on a dyno and see before I go bragging :p

Hit 70k in it, got slightly depressed as ive given it 55k of hard abuse and its starting to show
Then used my new impact gun to remove driveshafts and cheered myself up with how awesome it is
Changing oil, filter, fuel filter and plugs tomorrow

Fitted my new clutch last night with the Sachs 4 paddle plate and the biting point is really bad!!

It's not down to the plate as it's similar to OEM but do the linkages need a reset or is it another bleed of the system to get the pedal right?

Thanks

today was spent installing HIDs into the fogs, retinted them to a more yellow look and i resprayed all the grill from matte black to gloss black. Gloss black looks soo much better IMO

Mine and the Monsterwraps 'interceptor' volvo C30 :)

the fogs are lovely and bright that i can use them as dipped beam without blinding people :)

i was gonna fit a set of 4300k HIDs for the dipped but when i put one in it turned out to be more like a Halogen!!
