    Yeah it was certainly an experience! Glad the clio held up so well in a smash! I don't really tend to do other people's cars it's just a hobby for me really, I've done a few friends of friends and that kind of thing before and charged ~£120.. I can get a car done in a day if I start early...

    Hopefully it's around 400 at the moment.. I'm going to get it on the rollers and set 400 low boost possibly less and 450 high boost 450 is about the limit on the 5 speed gearbox so don't want to push any more than that.. When I go 6 speed I can wind up the boost a bit more maybe aim 500ish as I...

    Mapping went reaaally well! Hit 1.1 bar of boost.. And wow! Flies!!! Turned it down to a safe .92 to preserve the W58.. Can't wait to put it on the rollers and see what it makes and get some final tweaking done Wired up ready :) Final check over and fit new bumper retainers

    It drives really well although I've had to keep it off boost as there is only a base map on for now... I have it back from the exhaust shop tomorrow and then it's on to mapping Friday hopefully

    Rob_SRi NA/T Supra Build + Restoration..

    Yeah, a lot of the big builders will use NA cranks etc as they have seen less stress as an NA and they are exactly the same as the TT.. There is a slight difference in Pistons and head but only due to compression.. They are still bombproof :) The 5 speed gearbox however will only last till...
