Get that cranked strut brace changed for a straight one - one for a Sport or the US RS model will fit nicely and be much stronger!
Seriously, looks brilliant. Well doen. I look forward to the results when you have the dump valve fitted and the Link re-mapped.

Dumpvalve fitted (a lovely Bailey evo DV26), and link has been sorted, still some tweaking to do on wastegate parameters...I think I can get away with some overboost now...running 1.3 in the midrange, tailing it off to 1.2 at 7k.
It *really* made a difference in 3rd and 4th gear...it never stops accelerating like it used to in 4th...and the ickle annoying sparkle I had in 4th is gone.
No increase in lagginess, spool up is somewhat better, and response is amazing when changing gears.
Maddies respond was summint like "OH SHAT!!!!"...

Jerry,
I hope you got the pics I sent last night, feel free to put them up if you want.
Because I didn't want aircon (or wouldn't pay for it!) I didn't fit the bracket to the pipes on that side of the car, but from memory you just remove the last bolt on the aircon pully cover and fix the bracket on there.
Your solution for the ABS module side is far neater than the HKS version as you can hopefully see in the pictures I sent, basically they want you to fix the bracket to the ABS module support bracket nearest the headlight...not ideal
Enjoy

Yeah, the barsteward, that porka was something else...how much torque was it, 580 Nm...and 430 hp?
Stunning acceleration...
My lambda probe went pear shaped on the way home
time to look for a decent replacement.
/J - thnx G - had a good time yesterday!
