Are you past your mileage allowance and getting to push the car now? How are you finding it compared to your old blob?

I'm about 200 miles over the break in period, I've had the oil changed too. The car doesn't seem as fast as my old car and has the same mods (minus suspension) it is less laggy than the uk car but it doesn't feel as fast

Could it be that the more smooth nature of the twin scroll makes it feel slower? UK cars tend to thump you when they finally come on boost lol.

I presume it's been mapped ? If not, get it mapped

I'm not sure, it doesn't really seem to come alive below 5k, it has api 350 badges on it but no printout to say it has 350. I'm hoping to get it remapped anyway once I've changed a few things

I think you lose some of the sense of power with how smooth it is. I'm sure plenty more (oss) power can be found with a map like Kosta and matt said. If you bummers hang on you can get them mapped the same time as me and make it a worth while trip for the mapper.

Anyone else going to Rallyday?

Still don't think that is a H&S Backbox. More likely to be cobra sport etc...

Ad your downpipe won't fit toms anyway as its twin scroll.

Think toms has had a map at some point but it wouldn't surprise me if it was the old Tek2 if they were ever available for the JDM car.

Mine shouldn't take that long to map anyway to be honest 1 the injectors are the same but I'm only having a running in map I agree tho 4 full custom maps in one day is a lot due to Andrew spending 4 hours alone on my car last time for my map!



Laga I forgot about that being twin scroll my downpipe is 3 inch tapper down to 2.5 then the system is 2.5 . That's why I've upgraded to 3inch all the way. All the pipe works dun now just gota get them powder coated then get all braided lines made up were nearly there should be rockin up at Weston meet!!!

Where will I find the flash plugs?

And rally launch just sounds brutal and fun therefore without even seeing the video I can already tell that I need it

4/5 hrs per car is a proper map imo, you know the issue you had with your first simtek map Ad, mentioning no names, collect money and run.
