Hi Sloanes,

Well with the current mods plus the re-map this thursday im hoping for about 230hp to 240hp at the fly wheel.

I am buying a 4x4 Haldex Control Unit, This will make the car run perminant 50/50 4x4 and pushes more torque's to the rear wheels and under braking keeps he rear diff engaged to stop the rear going all light and tail happy.

Once the spring comes next year going to replace the turbo / manifold and down pipe for a Garret GT30 setup / green injectors / upgraded fuel pump and 4 bar pressure rail and with a remap should see 320hp - 340hp at the fly.

Would like to get a Sleeper Style Feature once its all complete.

Cheers Craig..

Very nice indeed I do like a wolf in sheeps clothing


Going to be keeping an eye on this

sounds gd to me m8 lookin very nice

Nice tractor! this'll look brilliant all done... any more exterior mods? More Lower?

I agree!

Organiser then!

Hi All,

Well I was at Jabbasport yesterday and had the car mapped & the 4x4 system serviced.

The car was 157hp / 165lbs foot.

Now after map is 221hp / 268lbs foot.

The HP is lower than hoped but the reason was a seized actuator and it needs replaced so the car is only holding boost to 5k and should be 6k. New actuator ordered!.

Also ordered my Haldex Controll unit which shod come next week.

Cheers Craig...

Hey that's sweet! That'll flyyyy
