    Hey Jim agreed there is a problem with torque and power after 5000rpm. Looking at the graph.

    I am looking into a forge 007p diverter valve with green spring, 200 cpi magna flow 2.5in sports cat from 42 draft designs and moving the MAF further away from the inlet side of the charger (again lol)

    The one thing that I picked up during the mapping session is that the air filter is surrounded in a plastic protective case which is extremely restrictive so I have moved the filter to the passenger side in the recess behind the bumper next to the carbon canister.

    I will go for a adjust map in November so it will be interesting to see the results then and to see if the issue has been resolved.

    Another update, I decided to change the VDO boost gauge I got from Tony for a Stack one due to being able to see both positive and negative boost.

    Whats interesting is that on idle she is -20 and boost is boost lol but when you drop of the throttle, i feel she dumps the boost too easily. I am aware of boost surge but still I think the VF-Engineering DV spring is so weak.

    Well I the idle is better, I went to Vince at Stealth Racing to sort the tappets and re-map the car and this has made a huge difference.

    Confidence is back on top. Fitted the rear strut brace, the MAF is further away from charger and the air filter is in the passenger side of the bumper. Free oil catch can fitted from an old charger setup, cheers Stealth. Oh I dropped the car back to the usual ride height.

    So on that note I have got loads of spare parts to sell including to United map which was not really suited to my application in the end.

    Oh on the rollers I got 270bhp and 233 lb ft which is a little disappointing tbh but with a move the plastic casing around the filter and sports cat, I am convinced this will make 285bhp + with some additional torque I hope.

    Some progress, move the MAF another 2 inches and idling is not really that much better to be honest.

    I am still only getting about Max 4.5 psi boost.

    So a few more pictures

    Oh yes its only taken me 3 months to get the sticker made but "vag whore" is missing from the bottom right corner.

    Took a leaf out of Tony and Pauls book an created some customer pipework with bits and bobs.

    Its only taken me 5 months to wrap this, what a pain in the a** but well worth it, as I am about to sell them :-(

    I also had to raise the car up around 15mm for the temp hash for the induction kit. Once I got more pennies I will get a BMC and put this under the passenger wing with the MAF and will run the pipework behind the front splitter.

    I took her out yestereday evening for a good drive and she idles better.

    I did notice that on the down change alot of burble and the acceleration is not smooth, around 3500rpm when the engine comes onto positive boost the car suddenly pulls funny, like a turbo.

    Hard to explain is if the power is not completely there and then suddenly just is. Does not feel right?

    Checked the MAF wiring and is wired correctly, not contact issues.

    Vag.com is clean, no errors. Engine sounds better excluding the tappets noise.

    I will move the MAF and parts to the passenger side.
