Just Back From A Nice Wee Trip To Port Seton

[mctwistuk]

Well finally got round th getting the car mapped after a long hard save for various mods. Due to this being my daily driver i didn't go to overboard.

I had a good chat to Andy and then it was off on the road for him to work his magic. He sorted out the rough idling due to fitting an APS CAI (which i may add sounds the dogs danglies;-) ). Car is now sitting around the 358 mark bhp wise and 377 torque wise.

A big thanks to Andy and also to Peter who helped organise most of the fitting/supplying of most of my mods.

The drive home was certainly entertaining and now to save for a bigger turbo lol

Happy days!

What mods did you make for this re-mapping?

Was the car standard prior to that?

Meercat sportcat exhaust system

walboro 255 fuel pump

forge recirculating oil catch tank

updrated NGK spark plugs

APS Cold air induction kit

SFS afta maf silicon hose

I have a hawkeye STI

The mods are subtle but the gains are great.

[C_WRX]

Good stuff. Nice numbers, and most importantly you're pleased with how it runs.

Reckon you can now update your signature comment at the bottom of your posts ??

[Richie Cross]

Good stuff Chris.

Good figures with the mods. I thought I could remember other 2.5 owners who changed

the turbo etc only came away with about 340bhp??

At least the next remap, after mods, will be cheaper!

So will yours Richie...........it's been proved you need them

[mctwistuk]

the first run to get my figures i lifted off the throttle a wee bit as i was not used to the power so only got 353bhp 376 torque but on the second run i got 362bhp and 379 torque so andy just averaged them for my overall figure.

[mystery machine]

Cheers for detailing your mods. Power/torque curves look nice too.

How much does Forrest charge for the mapping, if you don't mind me asking?

[hi_jac]

Bet you couldn't keep the smile of your face on the way home

Nice big spread of power now, have fun.

[mctwistuk]

check www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk if you are lucky sometimes people organise a group buy. The one that has just finished was 470 + vat.

Thanks Jac. Now all i need to do is get someone to explain the graphs to me lol.

[hi_jac]

320 lbft @ 2900 rpm is really good going. What boost is it mapped to ?

[mystery machine]

You can compare your results with the standard STI and the PPP STI here:

...although you'll have to convert Nm to lb/ft, which you can do here:

[mctwistuk]

Defi boost gauge reads 1.55 bar

There's no shame in being left standing by your machine!!! Do you know many other owners?

Saw one in Ayr last night with personal plate of Pro 2??

Nice one Chris bet your grinning from ear to ear the drive back is well worth the wait mate, the extra torque makes such a difference enjoy it,

The drive back was great. loving the sound of the cai even more. Thought i might get a bit more torque but am happy with the power instead.

The second gear thrash is defo an experience lol.

Yeah i know afew mate and have met up with afew too.

Good figures from the remap today, is that standard turbo?

[sparky_sj04]

You go out and drive the car while he maps it Stoo. he's got a laptop and all the gear connected and you just do what he tells you.

Chris you'll probabaly find a difference of around 20bhp and 20lb/ft of torque between Andy's figures & a rolling road especially Dunc's I did, but when you fit your turbo your torque will be even more awesome, yea second gear is real fun

Nice broad torque curve my man ! If I were you I'd stop the power race there and spend yer dough on brakes and suspension. It will make for a faster weapon alround !

I am seeing Andy F on Friday too.....think this is my 6th remap now so I have a little routine which involves getting bacon rolls and a full tank of v-power before hitting Port Seton and then drooling at the contents of the Bat Cave.

The APS is awesome eh ! Adds nicely to the turbo spool and exhaust note

These god damn scoobies are a rollcoaster of modding highs and lows. However, when you hit the first section of National Speed Limit after leaving Andy's it's haaaaaaaaapy days.

happys days.
