I assume that these are the stock SFS pipes? albeit reinforced and not metal ones with silly joiners.
Hi Roger,
As i said later to Maz on msn ... it wasn't mean to come over as personal which admittedly it does look that way.
However SFS & Maz issues aside, all of this is still very much 'development' work and should be treated as such - i expect teething problems at every step and i've had my share of them too. All i can promise ( as i've said to Maz) is that as i sort out these issues and get things like pipe lengths etc sorted i'll let people know.
No worries Pat, its the problem with reading forums can be seen in many lights...
Its certainly developement, that all of us have in different branches
costly to some and not to others
Thats correct.
Well its a solution - if they make it strong enough and it does the job then yes I am happy.
Yep got to wait and see what happens. Lee said he would call me today so will await the call.
I will await judgement

By the time you get around to any of this, all of this should be sorted so as you say, unlucky for some and lucky for others.
Very true, i think at the end, i will have a few things for you boys too.. one maintance on mounts bushes and diffs... i seem to be stressing every component at the moment, and finding weak links to share with all
Thread was getting quite big so thought I'd make an index. Can be found on page one with the Mod list too.

Great idea, except be better to use the post number, not the page number. As the number of posts/page is configurable in the user CP settings, so won't necessarily be the same for all users.
Post number will always be correct

Its back!

Car is back from AmD. The OE pipes are on with the aid of SFS prototype clamp on the FMIC outlet.
The new map is on - car feels very strong and smooth and should feel better in the coming days once the ECU has adapted. Will write a full review of the map little later on today or tomorrow.

very nice car mate, what power is the car running now it has settled down?? and are you gonna be pushing for much more?? injectors, methanol etc??
SFS are still making uprated ones. Just have to wait for them to be made. I'm in no rush now they can take as long as they need.
Cheers mate. The car hasn't been RR with OE pipes and new map. I suspect the car is around 230 and 360-370lb/ft. I wont know till the weekend or in a couple of weeks time.
whats the most power you can push on the 1.9 (standard internals) with a TD2, looking at race injectors, methonal nitrous etc

PD engine is quite strong. With race injectors and methonal your looking at 260 easily. Prepare for the car to smoke a bit with race injectors and possibly cam will wear also. TD2 turbo is good for 240-260.
'New' AmD remap: Day #1
-----
I have driven the car for around an hour today with a mixture of town driving with some motorway and dual carriage way roads.
Can a remap be perfect? Its looking positive so far. In normal driving conditions without flooring the car its has powerful and purposeful delivery of power, definately much smoother than before. The torque is certainly back with vengeance! A nice wave of torque from as low as 2-2.2k rpm which is a massive improvement from the 2.5-3k before. As you all may recall, I had a conservative map put on when the SFS pipes were swelling to try and reduce the problem. The conservative map lowered the torque down but comparing the new map to the old...there is no comparison. Put your foot down in 3rd and 4th and the acceleration is relentless all the way to 4.5k. I would go as far to say that it feels more powerful that my original map which made 380lb/ft however my brain is telling me this could be because the OE boost pipes no swelling thus tricking my mind into thinking its faster? I will need some verification from my good friend Slick as he has driven my car quite a bit.
The juddering problem has disappeared which puts my mind at ease now. I'm glad its not the clutch or another major component and it was because of the pressure building up in the pipework.
Tomorrow I will be taking her out for a more spirited drive on some A and B roads to see how powerful the map really is. In summary for Day #1 - I am a very very happy boy! So much so I am not that bothered about getting the SFS hoses at the moment as I just want to enjoy the car. I will ease the pressure off and let them make them in their own time to get them right which is the right thing to do. I will report back tomorrow with my day 2 findings.

Thats good to hear! Sounds like your happy with the car again
Where did you get your downpipe from mate? It's a powerflow isn't it?
