also you say nothing seems to happen until 2500-3000 rpm, and it will feel like that as thats when you turbo starts kicking in.

No, like I said its hard to explain.....I know when the turbo kicks in.......It just felt crap, it wasn't smooth, sort of hesitant between 1500 & 2500 revs, it felt like it stopped for a split second.......Now its feels nice and smooth with no hesitation......

You should uprate that crap 3bar FBR to a 4 or 5 one, the smoothness then is a huge hope, feels like the spool is quicker as well as responsive, specially when you can pick them uup for £25+

You don't really need more than the 3 bar FPR unless you are running mega boost if it's mapped properly  :wink:

Try giving your throttle body a good clean mate, this will probably help.

The cars running perfect now with the V Power petrol....... I am genuinely gobsmacked at the difference its made, I didn't think it would have made any "noticeable" difference whatsoever .....

If your going to run on V Power all the time get a shell reward card, after a few months theywill upgrade the standard one to the V power one if you fill up with v power enough so then you get doublepoints which then turns into money off fuel vouchers.

Ummm.... No. The fact it was -3c probably had more to do with extra horses also Nick has posted that the dyno was reading high for some of the cars  :wink:
