Any comments on setup appreciated.

Power Engineering Phase Zero chip (165)
Pipercross Induction Kit
Mongoose Evo Exhaust
Pace Intercooler
Piper T2 Cam
Bleed Valve (Brass lockable)
12 psi

Car was running 15psi for cam benefits but mileage getting on 70k so now running 12psi. Any comments on this setup would be appreciated. Is it reliable BHP? Have thought about returnin engine to standard?

Pukka set up, stage 1 is fine and your running sensible boost-personally i don`t like bleed valves, but aslong as u don`t touch it, it will be fine :smile: .

Just get it on the rollers every 12 months and it should be fine..

The only thing to watch is for any sign of the head gasket failing. Keep your eye on the header tank and oil.

Oh well then it should be ok, but dont take my word for it :wink: :grin:

My car hits 15psi and is over 130k :wink:

Just keep the oil changes regular and always let the car warm up before a run and cool down after a run.

cheers :smile:
