now that i finally have mt car back after 5 months off the road i am wondering what to do next to it.

it now has a hybrid turbo, and a 1.0mm cometic head gasket. it already has a s/s manifold and decat pipe. everything else is standard Rev 2 kit.

on a recent dyno run it is doing 217 fwhp (this dyno apparently is mean by 20hp) at 0.88 bar boost.

i am getting a charge cooler on it in the new year but what can i do on the ecu side farely cheaply circa £1000 incl set up.

:driving: want to optimise the fuelling as it is running a bit rich. once i get the cooler on i will be winding the boost up but want to make sure all is safe on it.

not really. the fan on the intercooler is no longer permanently on so it may have been connected ot hte wiring burning out (no pun intended)

need to get the brakes sorted out then i can learn to drive it again.

if you have the urge to spend some cash then an exhaust and get the chargecooler on it, should net you a few extra ponies

mines is running 216bhp@wheels with stock engine and turbo, down pipe, 3" exhaust, charge cooler, air filter, charge cooler at 0.8bar looking to get around 260 at the wheels once finances from crimbo recover

what spec is the hybrid?

had the turbo blow in June. then when it was rebuilt some wiring burnt out.

spec on the car is s/s manifold and decat, 3" exhaust, hybrid turbo, cc being fitted in january.

found boost was running 10psi, now 12psi. big difference. will wind up to 16psi when cc is on.

the hybrid is a turbo technics hybrid based on the CT26. it was all i could find second hand at the time. have to admit 260 at the wheels is enough in a 1.5
