welcome aboard chaz, lets see some piccies!!!!!!!!

so i trailered my car to alan jeffries on fri, that was a mission getting a trailer and vehicle!!! dropped it there around 1030, martyn said that he could map it in one day but would prefer to do it over 2/3 (can check hot/cold starts etc) was going to be on the dyno in a couple of hours so off for a pint and some scran then come back and see what she looked like on the rollers.
rocked back up around 1230 and martyn then told me that the simtec board was fubar and they'd have to get another one!!!! swear my car is cursed!!!!! so she's now sat in a different garage but am inching ever slowly to being back on the road......................

Excellent results so far, what you hoping for, I guess 360 on that turbo?

Is it being mapped on meth?

am off to pick her up in the morning 370bhp will have to do i guess............

next stage will be v3/4 heads and some work, octane boost of some sort, maybe a tad more boost (1.45 at the mo)

hope she doesn't pop on the way back, or my gearbox for that matter..........
