Picked myself up a lovely Roger clarke 450 today.............
Booked in with Si from jgm next wednesday for simteck mapping.

Just wondering if anyone else has similair spec and what power I can expect??
Im running a v3 sti, hks mushroom, full decat, stainless unequal headers, up pipe, walbro pump, APi 990 injectors and the turbo.

Worried about swhen the gearboxes become weak

 

dam good question on your box issue. best i can guesstimate is anything between 350-400 depending on your driving styles or exact box serial number..

good luck with the re-map

 

Nom nom nom! Nice turbo mate!

Do you have a built bottom end though, otherwise you'll have to be careful with that bad boy!

 

Thats going to be very very laggy on a 2.0 fella.

 

That turbo will eat your engine for breakfast mate

 

As above twice it will be very laggy and eat your engine I'm afraid.
I was advised by more than one mapper that the rcm 450 is a laggy turbo unless on a 2.5 which it is best suited to.

 

I have a spare bottom end that I am going to strip, so think the 2.something will be on the cards :-)
