I have only had it for a few days but as follows.
Firstly thanks to Andy (GDI) and Ben (AWT) for there input into the car. Although the car took a bit longer then the original schedule it was obvious that Andy had put alot of effort into getting it right.
Under the bonnet all the work is neat and tidy. The engine had been cleaned and the inlet manifold painted black (see pics) which looks nice. Andy obviously takes pride in his work.
The transformation over the standard engine is quite amazing. There is no 5000rpm kick just smooth power from 2500rpm onwards. Torque as you can see from the graph comes in higher then the standard engines peak at only 2500rpm! This for me is the basis for a useable road application as you do not want to be ringing its neck all the time to get the power.
Points to note. Cold start takes a few attempts. The OMEX still needs some fine tuning due to jerkiness when off the throttle below 3000rpm (I have only had the car for a few days at the time of writing and Andy is in the process of resolving this problem in conjunction with OMEX).
Because the OMEX is used you lose traction control and the trip computer, mpg etc. which for me neither is any great loss.
The use of the cable throttle makes a big difference. It makes throttle control much more direct and responsive as the slow fly by wire system is replaced.
Overall a few minor niggles that are soon forgotten about when you push the loud pedal into the carpet. The noise and accelleration bring a smile to my face every time.
