yep when I mapped someone elses Knightsport Twins, it pulled verrry hard, very good uprated twins better then BNRs in my opinion

I\'d expect to see a bit more than that on KS twins? I\'m pulling nearly that on stockos?

Looks good though, can\'t fault Pip - goig back in the new year for a bit more :D

i thought in this weather it will be enough, i\'ll go back in spring and get it remapped, it will easy see 380+
 
so it was my choice to keep it at 0.9 bar to be honest, plus mine is very safe and as reliable as you can get on a rotary!
 
would not like to think i was pushing 360bhp on stock turbos myself but everyone does things there own way!

Oh don\'t get me wrong, it\'s enough :D

Plus massive props for flying the twins flag :)

Stock twins are capable of more than a lot of people give them credit for :) but not as much as the KS ones :D (pip mapped mine too, so i\'m trusting him on the safety front :D)

i love the smoothness of the twins and the benefit of immediate power....if we det our engines we will go round to WGT together and ram it with my jeep lol!

Pip mapped my stock twins too and he seems to urge on the side of caution anyway, he mapped my standard motor with full catback @ 0.9bar but although producing 326 fwhp pip reccommended me the boost be re-mapped to 0.8bar which produced 306 fwhp and 290 lb/ft which im more than happy with its a huge improvement on the useable, streetable power.
 
The midrange torque from 3 -5k is now superb and holds solid 0.8bar till well into the red.
 
 
AND !! I cant believe im gonna say it !!!!!
 
I was very surprised at pips total price left me a shed load of change which the wife and me split on shopping/Beer in Chester

There is a good few people making good power it seems nowadays with twins and the 360-380 fwhp seems readily achievable.
 
looking forward to a passenger ride when you get the biatch back mate:Giggle
