Well, not much as I wasn't allowed in the workshop with the gear running (makes sense), but a short one of Tank on the Dyno.
Some truths are being revealed from the original sale information provided too - there's no way on God's green earth that it was making near 200kw at the rear wheels previously as the turbo actuator is about 7.5lbs ... it spikes up to 14 or thereabouts, but on the machine, plummets round 2000rpm back down to 7-8 lbs no matter what ... that's a problem I can get resolved pretty easily, and would expect a MAJOR increase in output. Additionally, the intercooler is struggling and air is essentially being pulled into the engine as it's working so hard, and subsequently stretching and thinning out the air (and heating it) - another problem for another day ...
BUT, on the last run I saw, it threw out 190HP/140kw's at the rear wheels (they are about 120HP/90Kw standard) and with all due respect, I'm happy at the moment with that due to the fact that it is quite simply just purring - runs awesome, fuel consumption rate (according to ECU - will be different under load on road) is down around 13-13.5 LPH at cruising RPM's and it sounds outstanding!!! More berries will come but not at the expense of the engine - that said, having driven it the other night, I would have said it has twice the power of original just in "feel", and I know for a fact (with witnesses) that I gave an Audi A6 a hurry up when he tried to take me off the line to get in front as the road went back to single lane. So in short, it's hauling.
Not going to change the intercooler, but will be getting a new actuator and electronic boost control put on it (not that expensive funnily enough) which he said would definitely see it well over 200HP at the rear wheels alone as it can actually hold 13-14 lbs of boost from 2500-4000 RPM (peak power range). Probably going to look into Water Methanol for the Intercooler issue and that was on the cards right from the outset anyway, so not too dramatised - proof will be in the pudding this afternoon when I drive it (and already I have plans!!!! lmao ... what a d!ckhead!!!!)
Anyways - short but enjoy the noise!!!

Yep, definitely has a nice 'note' to it ... as said, find it funny about the power output results, as it certainly feels much punchier (I have gained a 56% power increase overall which isn't to be sneezed at I guess). I don't know ... I'm happy with the result, and as said, get to drive it properly this afternoon, so that'll be the telling factor for me. Didn't see the torque curve whilst I was there, and again, that's more important to me than outright tyre burning power - got a bloody heavy camper trailer to lug around!!! ... and the driver of course!!! lmao (start with personal trainer this afternoon by the way ... dreading it!!!!)
OY ThATS CHeATinG Hes gunna flog you like a borrowed horse hahahahahahhahahahahahha I Want foters hahahahahahahah

SHE is going to flog me like a borrowed horse my furry little friend ... SHE!!!
Annnnd that would be why the missus is coming also!!! lmfao
Righto - it's done!!! Going to pick it up now ... very excitement!! lmao
threw out just over 400nm of torque and one thing I didn't take into account with all the information in my previous post, is the large tyres!!! He actually commented that even though I'm looking at 140kw and 400+nm at the rear wheels, against the standard rating (90kw and 240nm) my tyres would be stripping as much as 20-25% (no joke) of the number off, basically, it is more likely close to double the factory output ... his exact words were "it's producing a truckload of torque" ... outstanding!!!!
I'm off ... trying to remove the smile from my dial will be a hard task this afternoon!!!
Thats double triple cheating then hahahahahhahahahaha
Oh Oh come on biggus chase me chase me giggle giggle......youve been a bad boy chase me chase me. Its cheating!!!!!!!!!
My missus trainer came round about 6 mths ago and smashed me, i couldnt move for a week hurt from the tip of me toes to the ends of me hair hahahhahahahhaa

Youll be able to reduce those tyres in no time with that amount of torque Sh1t hot mate glad hes up n at it
