You now have a very restrictive inlet compared to the standard one (its got to come through a turbo and intercooler) and you have a very restrictive exhaust compared to the standard one (crap manifold and a turbo in the way) so its going to lose power, you probably will need about 3psi of boost just to get back to where you started more or less!

Everything's come to a hault literally!! Passenger wheel came off while driving to work snapping 2 of the botls in the hub and ripping the other 2 out when going round a right hand bend!
Snapped wing and new hub along with whatever else it's Bent and messed up. Not happy to say the least

Atleast your ok, what a pain in the ass though. Hope you sort it mate 
oops, you will only make that mistake once!
Sounds like it.
Or wrong spec of bolt, Ive had cheap stud kits come loose before even though I know they were done up correctly, it happened a couple times in fact on the same car which is how I knew it wasnt just a mistake. Thats why I will NEVER use those cheap stud kits ever again!

FFS Dan that could have ended alot worse. Least your ok and I guess the car is too more or less.

I've heard of a few people losing wheels on track when the wheel bolts have been torqued up correctly but the heat in the hub has loosened them off and the wheel has overtaken them going into the hairpin.
It happened to me when I used wheels that had been powder coated on the hub face. Wheel never came off fully but all the bolts were loose.
Glad it wasn't worse and don't let this small setback put you off. These things are sent to try your resolve and commitment.

Fitted new shaft and hub today really had trouble fitting the hub to wishbone it's as though something's not right to fit but it's a ph1 shaft hub wishbone ect all I want think its its slightly Bent when wheel came off. Can't get the bolts closest to the hub so sit perfectly no matter how tight I get it.
Effects it's having or something's causing:
Pulling to left badly
Pulls all over when braking hard
If you put your ear upto the wheel
Can hear a slight tapping but can't from inside ect it's not like the old knocking driveshaft sound a light tapping :/
