    Not convinced it goes like any of the cars on that list Anthony. Although, I have to admit that I haven't driven any of them either. I think real world numbers with the G-Tech would be a better measure.

    Gav, can you elaborate on the tuning of the actuator? You've mentioned that without the N75, boost should be around 5-6, should I assume if its low the actuator should be tightened (or gap reduced) and if higher the gap widened.
    You need to be careful not to tighten it too much and cause boost spiking, when the N75 can't do it's job as the tuner expected. You would shorten the rod to up the pressure. In conjunction with logging. I would also log the actuator pressure with VCDS rather than a gauge.

    I expect some very sticky tyres or some F1 inspired downforce to get this thing some grip.

    Will it be a dry weather only car or are you going to load a safe linear tune to keep traction under control?

    Yeah Gav, how are you going to get all this power to the ground without smokin the rubber?

    A sensible "mature" driver , spinning from a standstill through first and second isn't what I am about. The tyres are too pricey for that. TBH as the turbo takes a bit longer to wind up, it is a lot more pleasant to drive than the K03s. It hauls in 3rd though!! and the exhaust makes a great noise too.

    What concerns me now is not running short of ability at Lakeside

    Gavin

    EDIT Stop posting in my thread for half an hour and let me get some work done or my afternoon will be spent parked on the Gateway LOL

    Oh I see. Low torque.

    Oops, missed your edit.

    Still working out the Phase 3 tune. I am pretty keen on a turbo like Anthony's, so I don't see it for a while yet. Plus I might need a better clutch

    I have to point out these are theoretical numbers, based on the MAF readings. So it might not do 300 on a dyno but it'll be pretty close.

    I think i was putting through quite a bit of air through my maf gavin when you logged it. Do you remember what it was ?
    MODS- TOO MANY
