Anybody know if Wallace Performance are any good with carbs (Dell'Ortos specifically) or can recommend a RR in Scotland (as near to Inverness as possible) that is?

How's the snow situation in Aberdeen just now? Is it likely to cause us problems getting up there at the weekend frown ?

Fine here by the coast - think it's around Dunblane/Stirling that it's been bad where it's a bit more inland.

I don't think sparky will be bringing his car frown
I'll try to get him to come along though... or else the burger van will have terrible sales on that day. laugh

Hope everyone else can make it?

What a wimp. laugh

Let's have some predictions then on what you will achieve. I am going to say (assuming it's not unexpectedly running mega lean like last time) 330 bhp and 320 lbft. Although my clutch might have other ideas and I haven't decided what boost I'm running yet.....


There's a creme egg in it for whoever gets closest to their actual figures.

I'm optimistically hoping for somewhere closer to 250bhp,although like a few of us I think my clutch may be a limiting factor in it when I up the boost laugh .

Well that was..... interesting.

I think it'd be fair to say the results were a little disappointing across the board, although doug looks like he'll be making good power with a bit of a tweak to the mapping.

My car continues to test my patience. laugh

Thanks guys for coming up - good to see you again. And cheers Matty for your efforts today. In particular, not blowing up my engine. wink

Well I made it home about an hour ago,had to switch to a lower boost pressure as I was starting to have a bit of clutch slippage and I confirmed it when I got closer to home,so it looks like new clutch time (along with the 6 speed gearbox cool ). So hopefully after I've attended to my doughnuts and done the other jobs I might have an improvement.

Once again,thanks Matty for your time today and good to catch up with the rest of you guys as well cool .

cheers matt, will get it changed, was good to see everyone again, will be interesting to see what your car makes when the car gets that prob sorted out as it looked to making really good power even on base boost, i am looking foward to getting the map tweaked on mine and getting a final figure for it as well

Just got up from my nap...

Yes indeed, thanks to Matty and all that made it today. Figures are crap today but the drive back home was good after Matty tweaked the greddy to give it abit more torque...so that is atleast a consolation smile
