Stef's new car Turbo content.

[Stef205]

Over a year of ownership seems to have flown by. 

Update on car,

Havent had to put a spanner to it other than wear and tear items. 

Replaced the rear pads for some genuine items
Front tyres replaced roughly 8k out of the federals
Rear spoiler has faded again so will have to sort that again
3" downpipe fitted to replace the restrictive 2" oem item
Decat standard requirement
4 oil changes normally with hks or genuine filters 
Air filter replaced for a hks high flow panel filter
fuel pump changed for a aps 360 pump 


Ive been working on a rom mod for the ecu which will open more tuning doors such as switchable maps, antilag etc etc and will also simple-fly everything. 

I took it to a friend to map it in his nice shiney dyno cell but ran into a few unknown issues. 
Firstly after the first base run we discovered the car was massivly over fueling on boost due to a boost leak making 255hp
Discovered at somepoint there had been a boost gauge on the car with a t piece down the back of the inlet that hadnt been removed causing the car to boost to atmosphere
Then we found a cracked egr valve! that was removed, blanked then binned! 
Then to top it off a intercooler hose was leaking   Baring in mind ive been driving this for over a year haha. 
Fixed the issues and there was only enough time to do one base run, car made 326hp with no map alterations just boost leak fixes! 

I plan to return in the new year with better luck. 

I still stand by as say its the perfect daily ( bar the fuel useage  )
