The car will be coming off the road shortly for the winter so there will be more cleaning because it's not had that level of attention for a long time!

Today I got the car corner weighed.The car weighed in at 1219kg with 1/3 of a tank of fuel and without me in it.
1309kg with me in it! Yes, I will be dieting!

The guy that done the corner weighing for me told me that'ideally' I will get the two cross weights equal, or as close to.
These weights are based on a car that didn't have the tyre pressures checked prior to weighing and not knowing if the coilovers are equally/unequally adjusted
(heights wrong etc).
So this has gave me a good starting point.

It would be interesting to compare db

Was this a standard car?
What sort of spec was it when you had it weighed?

good stuff!
do you have an external waste gate?

I think my next move will be an ECU and mapping session.I plan to extract as much power as I can on the standard engine/turbo.

Then when it goes, it'll get something'better'

Based on what you've done so far, would you do anything different?

well tbh(others may argue this) but i would stick with the stock ecu for now
im still using stock ecu and injectors.![]()
i guess your running 1-1.2 bar boost? if so then an ecu and re-map will(for the cost) gain you very little
for what a decent ecu and mapping costs you could get a good 2nd hand turbo setup or hybrid turbo then run lower boost at lower temps and gain a little power that way.
