I think Adrian is getting as frustrated as me with the time it's taking, or maybe hes frustrated with me on his back all the time :confused:Quote:

finally the manifold is ready. All being well I'll be picking the car up on wednesday. Let's hope there are no more issues.
Hooray!
But aim for Friday. Less disappointment that way.
I'll call Adrian tomorrow and might take my car down for a tune. That way he can do two at once.
I'm down there on Wednesday for a tune. Whatever we end up with should be a good starting point for the tune on your car as our systems are very similar.
I was hoping to pick it up wednesday, so maybe mine will get done first. How often do you need to get retunes?Quote:

You need to get a retune everytime you add an enlarged throttle body and bigger injectors. ;)
Seriously, with a good tune and especially if you're using a wideband with AFR feedback correction you really should only need to tune once. Of course if you tune on a hot humid day the tune won't be ideal for a cold dry day so some tweaking for the best compromise is possible.
BTW, what exhaust are you using?
Everything on my car is stock, except the turbo kit, injectors and EMS.Quote:

you would need to tune again once you fit exhaust.
on stock turbo cars performance increases significantly with just an aftermarket exhaust system
It's a bad combo having a big non-BB turbo and small exhaust. It'll slow your spool and choke you up top. Don't get me wrong, it'll still be ballistic, but not what it could be. A smaller BB turbo like a GT2871 would spool nicely and not be so big to really need a bigber exhaust. Or a bigger BB turbo like a GT3071 or GT35 and a free flowing exhaust will massively improve your top end.
