without a dyno figure who knows , but the difference is massive
the map that has been sent has a rough target between 310 and 325 so more than likely

yes he will do it was just a thought if you were having a go
Appreciate the offer
but we know what happened last time I worked on your car but I will have to decline I'm afraid, much potential to get it wrong and I don't fancy experimenting with those kinds of states at the moment

The initial off the shelf map was not the best throwing codes for overboost etc . JTune is now doing the mapping and some progress is being made

Getting some progress now the mapping is almost finished. The torque curve has been tamed a little as well - don't wanna be bending any rods
I'm getting better at the data logging as well
Next time there is a dyno day at RR i'll be there get some real figures

so thats it my tune is now complete 2 runs AFR nice and even , boost pressure even . Going off the best of those 2 runs it equates to about 370-380 at the crank according to online website data . Well happy
Did a run lat night using torque pro and pulled 60-80 mph in 1.53 secs and the wotbox is running great guns on the gear changes

It's not as good as an RX in the bends of course but it does surprise people in a straight line
Just got to tart up the engine bay now it looks like someones just threw everything in
