shorty Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 I don't think this is gonna work out reading back through the thread, I recommend just taking the engine and turbo kit out and gifting it to me for my ep70 😂 Seriously though, is a wicked build! Quote

matty gt Posted January 7, 2023 Author Posted January 7, 2023 Phil dug deep this week and put massive hours into the build for me .And what a first dyno session today was absolutely incredible figure for the such little boost. The lads will add more boost and better fuel and those numbers will climb northwards 😁 VID-20230107-WA0023.mp4 Quote
matty gt Posted January 16, 2023 Author Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Car was back on the dyno last Monday made 335bhp at 1.4 bar on 95ron fuel which I think is incredible will be back on the dyno soon with a tank of 99ron the results should be good stay tuned more power to come 💪 4/5 weeks tops should be bringing her home i cannot wait to drive it Edited January 16, 2023 by matty gt Quote
BurtEP82 Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Congratulations, and still more to come for you hopefully. Love the attention to the small things, I’ll be blessed if one day mine gets even close to this. Truly an awesome starlet and one of the best, now inside as well as out👌🏻 Quote
