I know you mentioned before about the fuelling but surely thats also taking into account a Hybrid Turbo and possibly forged pistons? I see the standard intercooler piping is plastic so wont balloon! Is the standard intercooler very big?

Ive been there before with a previous car and got carried away with amount of boost i was running! Blew a turbo and then Piston rings :oops:

If its all good though then nice work! :)
the intercooler is bigger than the radiator :o and sits at the front 8)

The ecu was mapped for that boost level,fuel was adjusted aswell,the problem i had with the car was that i couldnt get no where near the boost it should have been running until i adjusted the actuator rod,all sorted now,with the map it brings in the boost abit slower than a mbc so is abit safer.
The weak part of the engine is the rods,the pistons can take around 400bhp.
