    I agree look at your torque 374ft/lb to mine 300ft/lb that's a big difference huge I think when they are the same engine.

    Using an mbc gives you alot more torque than just a remap

    P2 has 3" throttle as standard. what would help is changing the intercooler as they have 57mm ports.

    There's something odd about Stribo's engine mate, it's always produced crazy amounts of torque.
    Mine has a 210k engine with the original cat/downpipe which I know is restricting flow somewhat. I'll be dealing with that soon and then it'll be back down to Southways automotive for another dyno session.

    Oi, don't call my car odd My car has 343 lb/ft, but only 245 bhp, that maybe because the torque tails off quite sharply after 3500rpm (possible actuator issue), but yeah it's running a 16t with straight flange, and whites.

    My mistake, I wasn't far off tho.

    I can test your actuator some time if you like Steve.

    Hmmm, probably a stupid question but is the torque down to timing advanced or retarded?

    Once the new turbo goes on, I'll probably fit a forge one, but it would be handy to know if this one's working properly.

    mine has a ferrita 3inch downpipe that I got second hand from Hamish a few years back and you got the same bhp as me yes your torque figures is down compared to mine but its only going to bring it up closer to 300 like mine but where still way outside off the 850s also my engine has only done 104k theres something where missing .

    Simple answer... ME7.1.

    It tries too hard to make the car feel smooth and ultimately strangles it.
