corsa definitely running a bit rich. Got wide band wired up. Down to low 12s on light load. Thought this might happen what with new pump. Will have to get it booked in for some mapping. Will speak to jdm tomorrow about it.

The std inlet is fine for 500 obv yours is beyone that
That 740hp astra runs the standard inlet
Whats the afr on full boost, the car looks mint, going for the same idea about the bumper cut out and the squar regi but been told this is illegal now no?

yes it will make peak power but it struggles to flow air very well. Used to have issues at 6k with it dropping power. Many others have since seen similar once around 350 and upwards. Its just another restriction that could do with not being there or you make hard work of air flow into engine.

The law is that you can only have a number plate in the standard recess. But if Nic has cut his recess away for the intercooler they can't really say anything.

spent a day pissing on with corsa having the map checked and adjusted. was down to the 9's on boost. bit rich then.
exciting screens of action and information.
slick attaches some more straps as it was trying to squirm out.
cool. almost sorted through most of it. have to do the top end stuff on road though so will finish that next week while putting rev limit up.

well the fuel light came on so had to stop so i could atleast make it back to petrol station. will finish off next week with a full tank.
dont know about the power. it should be capable of fuelling enough for a lot more than it needs though which is good.

What power did it make? Stop being so modest and pretend that 450bhp is about normal
