well thats a good headstart  :cool:

Current spec is

*AUQ180 80k miles
*Forge Tip
*3" turbo back non res exhaust system
*Toyosport FMIC
*Uprated Re-circulating valve
*Toyosport Cold air induction kit

So hopefully fingers crossed we shall see some good bhp/torque figures  :smiley:

boooooost leaks  :grin:

R-Tech might stock the items if you need them, I know Nick tried ringing round loads of places to find me a MAF but couldn't get a genuine one first time I went up so I had to go home with half a map lol

Atleast its not just me then  :grin:

I do indeed bud, peaks at about 10/11psi then settles down to 9psi!

As far as I know the car is healthy, I do have one fault code (an exhaust emmisions one) but thats only ever started appearing since iv had the 3" turbo back straight through pipe put on so ive put it down to that!?  :lipsrsealed: but I hear on a the stage 2 custom remap they alter/delete the lambda/emmisions readings!?
