Glad your happy with it mate. Just give it a week with it as your scratching the surface with it right now, but how rapid is it on A roads even at 100 and floor it it just goes. I assume you never turned the boost down lol

To be honest I havent turned the boost right up!

I know what you mean about A road, overtaking has just become a whole load easier!

I need to get the rev counter working now as I'm too scared as I dont want to bounce it off the limiter!

Well it will rev to 7k but the power is tailing off after 6k have a look on page 1 for the graph on mine. Did he say why its not working, he text me saying it was not but it def worked on mine, has he fit the rpm signal converter! Drop me a pm with your address mate i need to send you a few things. And turn the boost up for god sake haha, 3rd gear will get you to just short of 90 at the top of the rev, 1st 30ish, 2nd 60ish, 4th 125ish, 5th 160ish

I did turn the boost up to about 1bar last night on the way home, but it was really wet and just spun the wheels!

I've spoken to Kevin at Jabba, he's going to make up a new RPM signal converter as James thinks it's the problem.

Once in 3rd and your rolling it should grip fine, i found with 32psi in the front tyres it was just right for grip, you just need to learn to feed the power in instead of burying the pedal. Strange like i say about the rev lounter though as it def worked. I dont think they cost too much about 50 are they.
