Very very special thanks to Forge for major upgrades!

Just finished fitting the uprated injectors, Turbo dynamics Stage 2 hybrid and the remapped ECU. I am absolutely overjoyed with the performance.
I want to really thank Peter at Forge for taking the time and trouble to sourcing me the turbo and getting all the bits to me way out in the Middle East.
Special thanks to Richard Washbrook aka the Guru of tuning- amazing how smooth the car is! Pulls like a train from idle to redline with reallly no smoke until redline itself. Perfection tbh.

You guys are really special, just want to tell you that.

Thanks

Bas

Great news, was exciting to see you fight your way through it all & glad the injector upgrade worked well. Shame I couldnt fit them to mine as originally planned, but it couldnt have gone to a nicer guy

Great stuff Bas , Its a pleasure to help you and work with you

Sounds impressive!

What are the specs now then?

Dr Zoidberg · 01-10-2007, 09:17

When's it due on a rolling road?

Basil · 01-10-2007, 12:43

Nearest RR is in Kuwait - would have to drive 6 hours to get to it!!!
I understand that the buttdyno logging is pretty accurate but will need to find a suitable road to test it on....
Hmm wonder if I can use the Bahrain F1 circuit for that???
Hence the conservative 225+ bhp in my sig. Will need to get some accurate figures sometime..
Suffice to say that even in 37 Degree heat it's amazing...

Given how car-mad a lot of the middle east is , I'm surprised that Dynos aren't mroe common.

Ooh, you kept this quiet from me

Good to hear Bas

I look forward to a ride if/when/ever I get back to Bahrain (although don't reckon it's gonna happen soon

)

TBH, I wouldn't bother with a dyno. After all, as you know, my dyno plot / figures don't look that exciting or set the world on fire, yet the shove tells a different tale........

On second thoughts, I reckon it would be very interesting to see the differences between yours and mine for obvious reasons

Basil · 03-10-2007, 01:12

Well you obviously dont read sigs here on Brisk or on MSN.....!

Mate, you can borrow the keys to it anytime, whenever you come over - see what you think of it...

Remember you got me started on all of this!!!!!

Cheers
