3rd time lucky, and I'd just like to say a big thanks to Andy Forrest for his patience and great mapping work, and to Dunc at Hypertech for sorting out the few minor issues I had last week :blush: .

Managed to get around 336bhp/325ftlb and a very useable amount of power from the TD05 16g and supporting mods, with a little bit more still to come. The only downside of all this is that it took me two and a half hours to get home afterwards, when it only took me 1 hour on the way there :).

Lovin the big grin now :):D:D:D

P.S. Andy, the restrictor has really smoothed out the boost needle no end, cheers :beer:

Glad you got it all sorted and the figures you were after :blush:

Was that a fix for the twichy needle !!!!

Cheers Al, wasn't chasing any figures tbh, but the car pulls really well now. Got carried away on way home along a back road today in 4th. Looked at the clocks which read silly speeds!!!!!! Decided to back it off somewhat.

Twitchy needle.....you mean massive fluctuations Lol. Yeh, just put a restrictor nozzle into the boost pick-off line at the manifold and it's silky smooth now.

Good to meet you Phil, that run home led you well astray eh !!!

Nice numbers.

Good to meet you too, and to pick your brains about the wheels :blush: .

Glad to hear all went well this time Phil the run home always seems longer dont know why..enjoy it now untill your next map lol

I know, it's funny that??? :)

There won't be a next time with this car. Gearbox being the limitinf factor, be as well going down the STi route again if wanting more, or a 6-spd classic :beer: .

If it was a wagon I'd buy it back :) Glad to hear it's all sorted now - be interesting to see what that extra power feels like - I must have been down in power and I thought it was just the old "you get used to the power" syndrome as I had a feeling it was a bit sluggish and had I not sold it Duncan would have had his hands back on it to get it checked out anyway.

cheers
