Cant really see how it can be running at 380 bhp with those mods??

Are you sure thats all the mods??
Title: Hello! New Rex owner!
Post by: RedRummy on October 23, 2006, 11:15:35 AM
ummm... its got an after market ECU... think its running about 0.95 bar... not sure really..

Its off to be mapped and dyno\'d by Pip at WGT on wednesday though  

YAY \\o/
:Thumbs-up

PS - gonna turn it down to about 0.8bar for safety... might think about getting a proper boost controller on it and having 2 set ups, one mental one safe.
