| Had a look at your spec and can explain straight away what your problem is, it's called compressor surge, it is being caused by the silicone intake pipe you have fitted, refit the standard intake pipe and you will be able to run that turbo up to 1.5 bar without a problem. | |

| Sorry for the lack of reply fellas. Had the car mapped today and after Duncan and Jamie fitted a 3port boost solenoid it went well. Made 410bhp and 360lbft which is pretty much what I was expecting | |

| Haven't updated this for a while. Not much has changed tbh honest, other than the fitting of a few carbon bits Stiffis [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Diffuser [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And a poor shot of both fitted [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Refitted my carbon splitter [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Then went and had some fun in Germany, after a quick wheel swap in the hotel car park [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Then I had to return to work so gave it a wash [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And put her away till I return, although the Wife will take it out every now and again [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] | |

| Hi Kev
What do you think of the SC42 ? I was considering doing some more mod's to my Hawk next year and this was the turbo I had my eye on.
P.s car looks great | |

| Tizer - I rate it highly. I would definitely buy one again if I was looking for a fast road car
Steve - I spoke to SC about the 46 and they told me to get the 42 as the 46 would be too laggy on the 2ltr. | |

Yes Steve mine is a 2.5 I have a VF48 on at the moment and the spool up is great. To be fair the car goes really well but I'm wanting more of a good thing !! | |

| Thanks for the positive comments fellas
Tizer - I would go for the 46 on the 2.5, no more expensive and you get more power, it's a no brainer.
Steviedoo - It's from JM Carbon and based on a expensive one from the States | |

| Little bit has changed since I last updated this Changed the front brakes for K Sport 8pots Sold the Work wheels and imported some WedsSports. They'll be going white at some point [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]I also lowered it a bit and I'm much happier with how it sits now [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Also got hold of a charge speed carbon fibre fog duct, which will be colour coded soon [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]That's it for now but got a few things planned in the up coming months | |

Steve, You possibly were as it has had a cracked splitter a few times, hence the reason it doesn't have one on now | |

| These wheels will definitely be going white Daz, just can't justify doing them at the minute. I've had a few splitters. A carbon one from JM Carbon, one from HT Autos and a couple of others from random places, they're all pretty much the same, apart from the carbon one obviously | |
