    I bought them because I wanted every part of my car from air filter to exhaust to be as effective as possible.
    Thanks for the feedback. My car is already modded and currently running 20-22 psi

    No more modifications for me, I'm gonna put my feet up and relax. This should be the end of this short thread.
    Thanks for the feedback guys. Much appreciated.

    is that not low numbers for a hybrid k24 (brand new)... I made more power with an older k24 and not a hybrid plus seals have gone. I'm still not convinced that the numbers i got where accurate from amd essex.

    I'll be going to JF Automotive next for a dyno when i get other turbo.

    Hi,
    Leaking seals won't reduce your power output, nor will a cracked exhaust housing.
    The hybrid wheel is much more aggressive in the way it delivers the power. It spools a lot quicker, and therefore you have power on tap from low RPM. The car was mapped to 20psi max with no boost spikes as I wanted a safe and reliable yet powerful engine output.
    I note you had a faulty TCV when dyno'd which was causing a spike of 25psi at 3000rpm, which could be why your torque is 30lbs higher at that rpm?
    My car was also tested in 4th and not 5th gear. Not sure that would make any significant difference in recorded output?
    I don't think a hybrid wheel will give you 400hp. You'll have to upgrade to a bigger ball bearing turbo for those types of gains.
    Like you said, it's good for a 14year old car! (Assuming we have lost some hp over the years)
    If you fancy a meet sometime then PM me as we are both in Kent.

    Hi Dave.
    The UR lower chassis braces are good. They do exactly what it says on the tin. I have both the lower front and lower rear braces both of which are made by ultra racing.
    It would be ideal if the rear one braced across the tunnel area. But that's not possible on the R's if I remember correctly. There is one that bridges across the tunnel area on the non- AWD models.
    They both stiffen the chassis up. Not enough for me. So I added a strut brace too, and the IPD subframe bush inserts. I definitely recommend the inserts, or solid subframe bushes.
    The P2s are far too soft and spongey IMHO. I've bought and fitted every mod available to stiffen up the ride.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Thanks for the info
    I have got the rear under body brace to put on my s60 D5 THAT I WILL BE FITTING AS SOON AS IT GETS WORMER,
    I also have the Eibach springs fitted and the front and rear strut braces, and the subframe inserts fitted,
    will the front lower brace make very much difference ?
    Thanks Dave

    Hi Dave,
    The front lower UR brace will make the front of your car "behave" better when cornering.
    The car will feel "flatter" under hard cornering.
    It will make a noticeable difference. It all depends on how hard you normally corner....

    No worries Dave.
    Whilst I said I would be relaxing and putting my feet up, it wasn't long lived. I've just purchased a Snabb shortshifter! This will be my last mod - he says!

    Approx 25% shorter throw.
    Does exactly what it says on the tin.

    Yes it's a lovely mod, I threaded the top of mine before install, spent ages debating buying one then they went down in price around September last year. Didn't fit the bushings as I already had some aluminium ones from ipd (I think) that I fitted a year or two before when I ordered some other bits from them
