Yh after 1000k miles I’ll feel a lot safer in giving it some. And then of course map tweeks...

Not for now. 

Piston failure on stock tune as we have very bad fuel here.

 

Got all parts for stage 2 ready though.

Would love an first start up and drive away vid of the beastie when you get there, you will probably want to savor it for yourself though.

I will definitely be taking vids of it when it’s alive. For sure.

Cheers buddy.
We are delayed due to a part still in transit, but delays was expected as it always occurs with these big builds. A couple more weeks I’m expecting.

Been a while Buch any updates?

Yh it’s taking far too long.
They had issues with the external wastegate setup.
We had some boost creep and it’s struggling to control boost spike,
IroZ run the wastegate fairly stiff ,The whole setup was apparently configured to mainly drag racing
As I want it as a daily driver also they have had to make some changes.
They Changed the way wastegate is plumbed but now the base file that iroZ/custom code use is not great for my setup.
New software is being prepared from scratch now.

Quick update.
It’s taken way longer than planned but I can say we have made very good power ( don’t wanna throw numbers around ). Waiting on a better performing boost controller from iroZ and then we are done. Guys at Jbs are doing a brilliant job and making sure everything is perfect.
