Just a few lines to say how pleased I am with the upgrade. It did exactly what I expected with regards to torque increase. (I wasn't too bothered about BHP but suppose it's about right.)
Although I've not had it on a dyno, the gains are very obvious. From any speed over 60 mph the pick-up is very much sharper, with boost now up to 16psi.
The day after I got it done I drove for 130 miles, without coming out of 5th gear.
I now drop to 4th, (if I really have to) where I would previously have gone to 3rd.
On checking consumption over one fill, it appears to be just over 28 mpg.
On paying for it, I was pleasantly surprised - it was even less than quoted, as there were 3 cars being done at same time.
You've probably guessed by now - I'm well pleased.
