Well from about 2 months after I had the TD04 remapped Jan last year I've had my mind on getting the next upgrades done. Today it all came together with the Andy Forrest final touch finishing it all off. As always Andy many thanks and pleasure meeting you again.

First off though, a massive public thanks to Barry (badbaz) for all his mechanical help and the patience to get the car through a couple of 2nd hand part teething issues. I ain't going to go on and on and inflate his ego anymore but lets just say he'll have a clean car whenever he wants for quite a while...well at least till winter time . Very methodical, takes right time to go through each step and liking Scoobs (just a bit) takes the time to talk to you about it all. Thanks once again .

Had all the bits to take the TD04 to 279/302 before so on with the STi IC, pinks and a VF35 (thanks Peter). Being a breezy day the power runs came back twice the same over two separate times in each direction with a 330bhp/327LbFt and a 342bhp/334LbFt...so I'll go in the middle and say I have about 336/330 - if I'm honest though the numbers are just a nice to know it is more how it drives ! Andy said my TD04 was a torque wee sole so the feeling difference isn't massive, with boost coming in later, but I can feel the extra power once it gets up the revs...just means I'll need to adjust my driving style a bit .

Enough chat, I'm off out for a drive, yes Barry, I really am going to drive it....then wash it .

Glad it all worked out in the end for you Colin

I would say keep it well polished, as this should reduce the friction giving you that little bit more

Really pleased it did so well bud ,have fun
