That was an interesting drive back I have to say! Initially I didn't think it felt like 50lbft and 70BHP more due to the more progressive spool and power delivery but once on a road that I could bury the right foot on my god did it pull and keep on pulling!
Both Pat and Charlie commented on how smooth the power delivery was and they were right! Boost on the dyno was set at 1.3Bar but easily hit 1.5 on the road, the boost curve is quite flat with boost coming in quite late in the range, Pat thinks this is mostly diue to having too large a bore up-pipe on the car so I guess it's time for ported headers (Tone?) and a new up-pipe for which I'll probably go to Harvey.
