creator :crazy cage :no mate not yet im in no rush i have 6 weeks till central daycreator :you managed to get more mapping in mate? has the boost been pushed up yet?
6weeks god i need to keep track of time lol though i had longer than that haha,do you know what boost your going to be runnin then mate or are you just going to keep increasing till you cant go no more? lol
low boost will be 1bar it should do about 300hp at that , high will be the most i can get out of it ive had a little knock that has took me days to find was a bolt on one of the engine mounts had stripped the thread just need to test it now but im sure it was that it was well loose

Re: fiesta st170 turbo
I've got to look alternaltive calipers, im running 15" mk6 fiesta steels, 14mm spacers to correct offset, but they catch a little too much on the mk3 mondeo calipers with st170 discs, will be good to see some pictures and possibly measurements when these are on
