After having the rebuild, front mount intercooler and fuel system done etc, and running it in i finally today got it mapped.  Had to get greg to first of all set up the Boost Controller then off we went, spent a few hours mapping it up and down the bristol ring road.  All went well apart from the first turbo spools very slowly, you get a big kick when the second comes in, also if you push it hard for a while starts getting very hot.  Feels alot quicker then before but still isant quite right although im happy for now, a big thanks to Greg for the mapping.  Ive ordered the water injection from the US which should arrive soon then its back down to Tims (RX Motors) to get the water injection fitted and also sort out that first turbo.  

Im just happy im able to have a bit of a play again after driving slow for a few months.

Good to hear you\'re happy with it. I find mine gets a little warmer when you start pushing it too - probably has something (a lot!) to do with water cooled turbos. They work harder, and transfer their heat to the coolant. As long as temps weren\'t getting out of control, you should be fine! :)

at one point i hit 96 degrees so thought i had betta take it easy for a bit, ive spoken to greg again and i currently do not have a undertray so will get hold of one and also try and improve the ducting for the radiator and see what difference that makes, probably ned some ducting as i have a front mount which of course restricts the radiator alot.
