revo did the custom map. it made 320bhp on a SMIC peaking at 80'C. mid 3k is where the fun starts and it pulls hard (full boost of 22psi) at 4k

overall cost me 2k inc taxes for the turbo kit parts and the eurojet FMIC fitted myself.
thats on a budget and does go well and is good fun, but who knows maybe a 2871r next

Brilliant news from Awesome. Had some more news about progress.
Car is soon to be completed.
Engine installed and it had it's first run on the rollers with the APR Stage 3+ 'base' map and the results are superb:
340BHP and 330lbs.
This just the initial base code which will now be studied and tweaked accordingly by APR.
Looking at the graphs the delivery is smooth as silk. Brilliant torque curve...it's got over 200lbs at 2500rpm. Power at really comes in earlier than expected from 3k it's on full song upwards ever upwards.
Torque is super flat across the range.
Car looks very stock under the bonnet just how I wanted it!!
Intercooler works pretty good maxed 50 degrees at it's hottest although I will upgrade it further when rebuild happens or maybe sooner.
Jim has remarked on it's civility on road manners.....very very progress smooth early spool....again just what I wanted!
More to come with tweaking but TBH I'm more than happy with those figures I'm gonna get use to that for the time being re learning the car.
Just having a few more bits done such as baffled sump, Neuspeed mounts new Carbon pads for the 6 pots and the front grill, bumper and valence are being painted.
APR now in process of custom mapping the car. No problems with space or gear linkage using this manifold set up which I was pleased to hear.
Photo's have been sent to Saul but not yet on here.

I saw it run this afternoon Ian, sounds and looks the business. Very impressed
Glad you liked it.......interesting what happens when APR look at the logs!!
Lower intake temps will help in the future but I believe peak temp were on last run.

Ian,
You definately need to get that IC changed, one thing that my experience wth Awesome proved was that their fan system on the Dyno IS very efficient and the logging I did on the road on the way to them showed that the AIT's on the road were if anything slightly HIGHER on the road than with their fan blasting the front of the car....

- always knew the APR kit would be super! - good luck with it
No more power for now!
Rods and pistons etc later
Larger FMIC will be considered but I want to drive the thing first to see how it performs....the Neuspeed item is pretty efficient but could be better.
Looking at the APR item....it's much bigger and I'd need the R32 bumper to fit unless I hack my old one....maybe even the Oettinger bumper may be good.
Only when I go 1900 Rob will I up the levels with their intake manifold etc etc.
I'm not looking for any more grunt at the moment but will perhaps look at some new suspension components available soon at Awesome

I expect it will be close if not more due to the fact that they offer warranty on this kit and more importantly a Lifetime' warranty on the manifold.
The other benefit for this kit is that everypart comes complete and it fits very well from what I am told. The turbo is well proven too but IMO it will certainly offer better value than the MTM and Sportec kits which are nearly £10k.
Should be picking it up next weekend
