Its too grainy, I dont know why though? Hopefully it was just high ISO, which I changed quite soon into the shoot. Might do another photo before going to bed.

[NA_Goodness]

Fuel economy ftw!! Lol.

[Socrates]

i'm looking forward to hear of ur results.

Just got home. In a word... Fast.

Lol. Car made 243.0rwhp @13.5psi, which is aboooout what I was expecting (I guessed it would be around 250). So I'm happy with the figure. But the drive... awesome! So smooth now, before this you could really feel the flat spots, now you just sit back and hold on for dear life all the way to redline lol, no more R&R. Full boost at 3000rpm in 4th, about 2800rpm in second. Didn't really watch any of the other gears.

Realistically I know it's still not really that fast, but Andrew said he ran it on the dyno before fitting the NIStune and it was only making 207rwhp, so I've gone up quite a bit, almost 40hp. The most impressive thing for me is the quality of the drive now, it really is so much better!

One thing I've noticed just looking at my power chart, the boost starts to taper off just after hitting peak, so by the time I'm at redline I'm only making 11psi. So that would affect my final figure. I will post the chart up in the power figures registry in the Performance section.

Waiiiiit, I totally forgot Hyperdrives dyno reads low!

[Ten Four]

Yahh, nice martino!!
Gimmie ride tonight? lol

[Hanaldo]

Haha if you want man

[Ten Four]

Yesssss will text you

[Hanaldo]

Lol ok no worries

[NA_Goodness]

Yeah, mine does that too, the factory wastegate actuator can't hold the boost so it goes up to 18psi, then drops down to 15. There's another 20hp in there with an HKS actuator, which I'm going to get soon.

[Hanaldo]

Ahh yeh that makes sense ^

I get a brand new 14psi actuator with the new turbo when I get it, so I won't worry about that for now. I believe I am done for the time being; I have found some hose for my catch can on ebay so I'm just going to get that, install my catch can and then I have nothing left to do So that's my modding over for the year

[NA_Goodness]

Its been a wild ride!! I have the problem cos its a standard turbo, an aftermarket turbo shouldnt have that issue.

[Hanaldo]

It's been an expensive ride lol. Hypergear highflow turbos come with 14psi actuator and braided lines
