Hope this wasn't iMessage or similar though as that won't show on a bill.

Buy the coolant from Renault. It's about £12 for 5l of ready mixed type D. How badly did it overheat? If it got VERY hot then it could potentially have damaged the head etc. If I was taking it to a garage, i'd want something better than 'We think it's the radiator' and 'it varies' regarding...

Nitrous would be the cheapest and easiest way tbh. That or buy another car like I did. I wanted more power so bought something with a 5pot turbo. £1000 of modifications have given me an extra 64bhp & 110lb-ft of torque!

Sky has one of the simplest interfaces in my opinion. Tivo is terrible, so don't go for that.

If you can see it in the tank, it's probably fine!

400bhp and 450+lb-ft and i'll be happy. Both of which should be easily acheivable on a Focus RS K16 turbo. My current plan (the one above) will get me well on the way leaving only the turbo, injectors and a map i think. I'm hoping to keep the sleeper look though, so may just go down the Focus...

Glad to be of assitance! I'm just trying to decide where to go next power wise. I get mixed reviews on whether an exhaust will actually release any power, that said the current exhaust MUST be holding it back. ST's with decats and std exhaust (even on std maps) pop and bang whereas my car is...

New flexis welded into your old manifold

5/6 years (dependeing on when the car was registered) or 72k miles, whichever you get to first. Either way, a 2007 197 is overdue a belt change by now, did you buy it recently? There are LOTS of threads on this here and over on 197.net. Price wise you're looking somewhere about £500. No...

No such thing as a mk2 Golf 2.0 turbo! lol. mk2 Golf GTI was 1.8 8v & 16v N/A engine or the Rallye & G60 had a supercharged 1.8 8v.

Both, I was sat at 50mph pretty much the entire journey due to road works (jct 28 - jct 47 M1 and back)

According to most Focus ST and T5 forums the original system is quite restrctive ( the volvo especially) even with the large DP and decat the car is virtually silent! Surely silent is restricted? On a side note I did a 122 mile trip yesterday and averaged 45.6MPG!! I certainly wasn't expecting...

How is this any more sensible than what myself and the others suggested?

Already done mate, it's running a milltek DP and Decat

Yes it was done on Saturday. It could be temperature related as it was sat on the dyno for a good few minute (running) whilst they messed about with configuration etc. They didn't turn the fan on until just befor ethe runs. I'm not sure what else could be causing it to be honest as I certainly...

Me too, you certainly get some funny looks!

I think he's referring to the OP's as his inlet temp is very high. The Dyno software uses this figure to correct the results. Basically it says car x has made 180bhp @ 50 degrees IT, however the AT is 22 degrees and will adjust the figure to allow for the difference between AT & IT (basically...

Quick update. It's been back on the rollers at Dyno Tech. The only changes since my last run are a fixed boost leak and a new recirc dump valve. It made 281 bhp and just under 350lb-ft. Graph below. Not sure what went wrong but the power dropped off drmatically at about 5.1k whereas last run it...

Does this not cause the ECU to back things off a little? Maybe something to do with the lower result? Seems weord for a clutch/flywheel to bring on EML light, which sensor is it tripping? EDIT: I've just read about this on RST website, they say it's mapped out - maybe your map isn't quite...

IT and AT are fine, 9 degrees above atmospheric temp is fine. Mine were 22 & 24. You're engine light is on though isn't it? Do you know why that is? They do appear to have run the rollers in N/A engine mode however. The roller rate is set lower than in was on my run. I believe it should have...

Forget it, you'll be spending thousands to get an extra 25bhp out of that. Sell up and buy something more powerful. you won't get 10bhp from an exhaust and filter, a map is going to get you 1 or 2 bhp at most (that's if anyone even maps them)

I think it's the intake temp that's caused the increased figure. The figures in the table bottom right are the correction figures and are used by the dyno to calculate the power. An increased IT would give a higher than normal result I believe. eg my Intake Temp was only 24 degrees which was 2...

Must have been an issue on his run only then. 14 cars ran yesterday, Most got exactly what you would expect, some down on power from what owners were expecting. I think this is the only one that got more than expected. Some graphs have been posted in here...

Take it back, the garage have obviously fucked something up. Over filled with oil is a VERY bad thing to do!

I think to rollers were spot on to be honest, you've only got to look at everyone elses results to see that. If they were all a bit high I could see it being the rollers, but I think you have freak of an engine. Most 1*2's were getting the 170+ usual figures. My Volvo has had 3 runs there this...

They always do, I don't think it matters on that type of dyno.

Here's mine, need to figure out what caused power to drop off so dramatically at 5.2k it shouldn't hit peak power until about 5750-6000 so should have made more I think. Pleased with the peak torque though!

Thanks to all today. Had a great morning. Chris

ThomasBrentnall - Me, and 2 mates will be along around 10ish (i've got a carpet being fitted first thing!) One of my mates needs to be away by 12ish, do you think she can be squeezed in? She'll be in a 1.0 Fiest ecoboost (remapped, hoping for 135-140 bhp).

My T5 and Focus ST's run K04's too and don't appear to suffer from these issues.... weird!
