I'll post them when I get a chance tomorrow at work but they are not the end result just us taking the car up to 7300rpm in 4th (6sp) and getting to grips with the motor. At present we're running 15psi and seeing low to mid 320whp and mid to high 270ftlbs. The car wants to rev much higher and the power is still going up when we get off but until we get a 1,000 miles on the motor with this current tune we wont be doing anymore tuning.

We should be able to run 17psi on 91 octane on this motor and rev to about 8500rpm when we get it back on the dyno after the next 1,000 mile and oil change.

The real aim for this setup is on 100 octane and C16 but we wont know how well that will work out until the end of November (sucks to have to work on other peoples cars all the time and not finish the shop car )

Here is a dyno sheet from about an hour ago, we are working on the mid range right now but to be honest don't want to go any further with pump gas as I don't see this car running too much of it anyway and it's all more geared towards 100 octane and C16.

Thanks mate, I need about another 500 miles on the motor before we start to really push things. I think I'm at about 150 of those miles so give me another 4 months to get the remaining and I should have something to show (sucks living 1.2 miles from work)

Car is currently having a bigger hotside put on and a new wastegate welded in and piped back into the exhaust stream (trust me when 10psi came around my car was plenty loud!)

Look for some more info early in the New Year (I think I will be working on it on New Years day )

Well we decided to fix the 2 leaking gaskets (uppipe to turbo and turbo to downpipe) and while we were at it we fixed some pipes that we were not happy with as well as put on the bigger .82 housing and ported the whole thing.

Below are a couple of pictures I took today as I was going to get it all back in the car until someone decided that I am actually supposed to work on other peoples cars not my own
