Matador came and put his Audi RS5 on the rollers as well, 409bhp.

TBH I was disappointed with that - book states 444PS (437bhp).
Anyway, achieved what I wanted.

I cheated and ran 526.9bhp in the car I took along instead...

A very nice Jaguar XKR :)

I can understand that, I suppose I would have been disappointed if the XKR had run less than 510PS which is the quoted figure, instead it ran a little more so happy days.

but remember, you can use nearly all of your power for more of the time.

Have a word with Colin (aka Gottagoturbo) bud, he always comes to the rescue when I've blown up & require parts. If you need his number just drop me a PM.

sorry not posted in a while, got the hybrid turbo fitted many many moons ago and i also went for a power to see if the the ecu was at fault regarding the lean mixture. safe to say im now boosting at 0.9 bar with a mixture of about 10.75 to one on boost and i pulled a rather healthy 280 bhp. not bad for standard boost

i am going to fit an electronic boost controller and run it at 1.05 bar, should be safe for the turbo and the engine. Im sticking with the 2.5'' exhaust but im going to remove the mid silencer for better flow.
