Well that's that's the car full set up and complete with the new ECU and turbo kit.... What a difference it made!!
As the kit was made for US model cars, a small amount of pipe work had to be modified to clear the steering rack but where the down pipe is connected to the turbo. The system uses V band clams for the most part so no need for gaskets either which is nice.
The max boost pressure is set for 1.7 Bar with a constant 1.65 and you can hardly feel any lag at as it comes up to full power pretty quickly. To be honest I didn't even look at the revs as I was too busy aiming for the gap on the road to keep it in a straight line.
The ECU has anti lag and launch control enabled so it will be very useful for the track/drag strip in the future. All you have to do is keep the clutch depressed, floor the gas and it hold at 5000rpm until you let the clutch out and launch..... Yet to be tested!!
The anti lag is switched on from a dash mounted switch and makes some amazing back firing pops in between gear changes once fully warmed up!
The tial waste gate is fitted to the down pipe and has its own screamer pipe fitted to vent directly to atmosphere and really needs to be heard to be believed, ear defenders may be the next cockpit upgrade. Once you reach the maximum boost pressure the waste gate opens and vents any exhaust gas to atmosphere through the screamer pipe which dumps out just near the drive shaft and down pipe.
The intake has been changed for a larger K&N system and it also does away with MAF sensor and connects straight to the turbine. You get a nice whoosh now as the turbo spools and you can really hear a massive improvement.
Here are a few pics of the final fitted kit...
