Default More power!

"Engage.
It's a strain, Captain.
Engines are overloading.
More power.
We're superheating.
Intermix temperature, 7,400 degrees.
75...
76...
8,000 degrees.
Shear away, Mr. Bailey.
2,000 degrees above maximum.
84...
85...
86...
She'll blow soon!"



Now that I have twin monster 3" exhausts , I have decided to install a boost controler (among other things) to the S so that I can run more boost. I am planning to increase the boost to 10psi which, the tuner recons will yield 230kw.
Well we'll see..

Anyway, under the keen watchful eye of Aus I will be attempting to do all the mods myself this saturday:

Install O2 Sensor
Fit Oil cooler
Modify Wastegate (damn thing has no clearance for connector)
Install Boost controller solenoid and harness to ecu

With the new wideband O2 sensor, I'd quite like to try regulate the AFR using the ecu rather than relying on the fuel map, have you tried that Aus?

If it's ok with Aus if anyone want's to come along and help...

I've NEVER had no replies to a post before (double negative intended here)... Not even a sarcastic putdown?

Two wins and a draw, so I'm in a good position for winning my class. Sicilian Najdorf and King's Gambit strike again.
