UPDATE 17/06/12Following on from last time My rear anni valance turned up
so got that fitted straight away
I also got myself booked in at
R-
Tech yesterday for a
Stage 2 Custom remap 
This has been well over due but I cant believe now after knowing how much difference its made why I put it off for so long. It took me the best part of 3.5 hours to get there but boy was it worth the drive, especially on the way home
. As soon as I got there the guys got stuck in checking everything was all good and safe explaining what was going to happen
.
In the first 30-45mins session on the dyno the guys maxxed the set up out at 199bhp
with a missfire. (
Toby your guess what right
) How ever after they had a quick look around they soon noticed that I had made a school boy mistake by not tightening something on the intake manifold allowing a boost leak. Within the next 1.30 mins they switched the engine off and started indoing the safety straps to get the car off the dyno. With the new live software they have everything can be done twice as fast so to say I was itching for a drive was an understatement.
Even though it was way above my head they took the time to explain they had [b
]*[/b]maxxed my set up out
showing me all the figures, duty cycles etc etc. I then went on a test drive
and wow.... I told my friends I was getting a new car to throw them of the scent but this is just as good as. it really is completly different to before. you only have to feather the throttle to cruise and then if you push a bit more it absolutely transforms the car into something else
The power is soo smooth yet agressive its hard to explain. Overall I am soo happy with what the guys at R-tech have done, cannot recommend them enough
if your reading this guys, I will be seeing you very shortly with what you recomended
.
Now the bit youve all been waiting for.
Cullygti you were on the money.
They maxxed out my set up with 1.75" intercooler pipework being restrictive
. They said theres easily another 10-15bhp to be had with the 2.5" pipework along with + lbft. They couldnt physically get the K03s to flow any more through the 1.75" pipework as heat soak was becoming a major issue even with the meth injection and F.M.I.C. I also had a leaking exhaust triangle turbo gasket which you could hear which of course was loosing a bit of power along with a blocked/rusty toyosport air filter
. Either way Im extremely happy with the power they made considering the above and will be getting all the above sorted asap for another trip up there to get some better results along with launch control being added and left foot brake and boost
.
The most important bit
231bhp & 258ftlb holding a solid 20spi boost
