Got a picture sent to me today from James T, so i called him back. (Blue K11 turbo) he had been to have his car tested on a rolling road for the first time. I wasn't to happy about this since to be quite honest it has a map that has only had about 4 hours work on it (from scratch) and is far far from optimised.
Its first run got about 150bhp which is what I had origionally expected. However, James was then told that no there was much wheel slipping, so another attempt was tried. This time it got around 178odd bhp. Apparently his car was still badly slipping on the rollers so after a few more tweeks and 3 sucessive stable power runs it got a final figure of....
From only 1.1 bar of boost on a basic road map. Hes quite pleased about this and it explains why its eating so many other cars out there. There is so much more yet to come from this so its a very good early sign indeed.
Ill let james fill in on the rest. I only spoke to him quickly but I couldn't resist in posting this on the forums for everyone to see!
