Yes mate you sure have, soon to do the brake calipers and when I install front fogs gonna get an orange tint for them. Think it should look good with a few orange bits around the car.
To be fair I wouldn't mind copying a lot of what you've done to your car :happy2: just had mine re mapped but think I need to start thinking about a new turbo and internals :laugh:
Andy:
Am going to do the calipers also orange :signLOL:
Makes a difference the remap brings the car alive,
Midland turbos are very good if your getting your redone

So got the car on the dyno today and it was making 134WHP. Was pretty happy with that and all was going well...
Until my clucth started slipping on the way back from the Arsenal game last night. So little bit pissed right now :(

AFAIK the dyno gave you the power at the flywheel, not at the wheel like the WHP would suggest. 134 WHP would mean around 160-170 BHP, which the OEM turbo can't handle.
I think AMD should have made a smoother torque delivery to preserve the clutch, with that spike no wonder it's slipping with your OEM disk. If you like the torque, maybe you can think about converting to a single mass flywheel. :confused:

Yea the guy who done the dyno said he reckons its running at 160bhp and he said that the mustang dynos are very accurate. I think thats the route I'm going to have to go down man.
Is annoying because AmD said that the car would be able to handle the remap they gave it. I'm all new to all of this so when you hear it from guys in the know you assume they know best. Lesson learnt I spose though... Going to have to be careful with how I drive once its fitted so the turbo doesn't go as well. Want to upgrade it soon anyway but cant afford it just yet. As well as trying to save to move outa my parents aswell!
