Early start for me today, woke up at half 4 to leave the house at 5 to make the 250 mile trip down to tuning developments. When I arrived Mike greeted me with a friendly handshake and a quick conversation to get some background info on the car. After signing a form he gave me and my 2 mates a lift into town as what can only be described as the ultimate sleeper (we were pretty impressed with it). Had some breakfast did some shopping then had a brew and within 3-4 hours I had a call to say the emanage had been fitted and mapped and that the car was ready. Mike then came back and picked us all up which is really good of him, you don't get service like that at many places. Got back had a look at the graphs and it had made 221.8BHP at 1bar on 95 ron fuel so I was very happy and paid him the very reasonable price that he is offering just now (which I would recommend anyone to take him up on) and got my graphs & keys. Overall I was very happy, mike is a top guy to deal with really nice genuine guy, feels just like it's your mate your going to see even put up with the state of my very dirty car and all the rough edges that still need tidied up haha.

Anyway down to the performance. Before it went it was running 0.5 bar on a RRFPR and FCD and setup on a wideband and at the time I felt it was pretty quick and a decent upgrade over the CT9 even at 0.5 bar. The car pulled ok although it was fairly hesitant at low RPM and had a couple of small flat spots and also a slight blip on idle. After mapping all this was gone car runs like new and feels amazing to drive, it is far far smoother and pulls like mad in every gear even 5th I can't believe the difference it has made, so much faster and torquier. The power delivery is perfect and boost comes in really nice, none of the old harsh spikes that used to break traction. It gets to full boost boost after 4k rpm and hold it perfectly all the way to the redline. It really just feels like a new car to drive I had a grin from ear to ear driving it home, can't thank Mike and Nick enough and I would whole heartedly recommend anyone to take there car there, I know mine will definitely be back.

Great service, thanks.

this is exactly how my car acts, and im running 0.5 bar ct9 ext wastegate, going mapping 1st march for td04 @1 bar so looking forward to driving it home now lol

mikes super friendly awesome guy, any parts are shipped and received super fast, look forward to mapping

i use a local hydraulic hose place when i need hoses made up.

need all needed braided lines for a td04 , thanks

i see a black gt yesterday in southampton town, didnt get much of a look, might of been an advance as looked like it had silverish parts but not 100% deffo not one i seen before!

Yeah man if possible then heat wrap the hose and screamer to be extra sure ??

will do by the way everyone, change of plan with the car and mapping... stay tuned:)

yeah mate

It shold do in theory buddy what its designed for i mean it should be 60 or 80 degrees in those pupes roughly anyway buddy

for now ive chopped old rad hose and sliced down it so i could wrap it around the current hose so that the old hose is the one touching screamer.. not happy running it like this but no choice for now! heatwrap it ASAP

car is out of action again, screamer pipe melted through my bottom rad hose, put a new hose on & my rad has decided to leak majorly so new rad time it is, not sure how to get round the pipe not being in the way of the screamer though, if i heatwrap it, would it stop it melting through? its not touching just very close

thanks bud Yeah the same happened to my friend on here (Dizzy), he ended up getting it resprayed, its costly to put things like that right. some people just have no respect.

what are the plans for it?

exactly!

had a load of ideas, for now just going to get it back to decent shape, fix everything the previous owner bodged etc etc, booked in for mapping 14th feb , collect a bundle of parts there too. and ill go from there:)!

GTs looking smart dude, absolute idiots, hate people who damage someone elses pride and joy!! hope its not too deep or expensive to get sorted

thanks alot dude!!

absolute pain, okay so its not like its a write-off accident but its just one of those little anoying things that would of been a million times better if it never happened!! will try and polish it out at the weekend maybe, thanks buddy appreciate it, love yours!

someone has key'd my car, runs half way down one side, quite deep, just after a 4 hour mop and clean session, so that really pee'd me off !! low life scum!!!

Haha he's harmless, just feels a little threatened by cars with turbos haha

he tried bigging his 106 up to me saying how fast it is, saying how it would smash my bro's td04 300bhp gt all sorts haha! i was in my n/a at the time so i was just having to bite my lip and grit my teeth lol

Probably depends on the angle you're looking at it from, it's the same as mine. I have some eibach 20mm spacers if you're ever interested haha

haha will be but skint for months now mate unless you want cheap for em ;)

Enkei's looking good buddy, could do with some spacers though

just been told the same on fb, old works were 7J these are 6.5J but seems so much different lol spacers are pretty low on the list atm though, & im skint atm

Good news enkeis look the nuts

Saw you down hedge the other night talking to a geezer in a Impreza

Would of come over but We were in a hurry to paint something on my friends 106

You Probly heard it lol

thanks buddy, they look better now they have been cleaned and polished after a few weeks lol, yeah thats my mate no problem. yeah ive spoke to the guy before, no offence i think hes a right tosser, thinks his cars the best because its got 2 fans!
