Nice review George, good to have another perspective. I know a couple of stage 2 boys are having this done so it'll be interesting to see their thoughts on something with a little less power.

Thanks for the kind words about the car George 
wasn't getting annoyed at all tho! kinda thought that the only way you'd really 'get' how the car drove was if you actually drove it yourself and remembering the lesson you gave me at last years National in how to really drive a car knew it was in safe hands!!! - glad you liked it!

If i get this done then ill book a trackday and let you have a bash Steve. Might even let it off the granny setting 
. Would be good with your v box on a wet track to give both maps a go back to back and see how much more useable/if any the less powerful map is and just compare corner speeds.

Feck me George, I bet that's the most you've written in one go since you were in short trousers.
Good write up though

Thanks very much for the offer, it is greatly appreciated but I can see myself getting hooked on the Garrett and I don't want to start going down that road yet
A stage four with the ECU & map would be the ideal scenario but I might give you a shout when it starts to warm up a bit (and I have some money saved
)If i get this done then ill book a trackday and let you have a bash Steve. Might even let it off the granny setting
Sounds like a plan, I'm sure between us we can get the best out of the setup
and also have mine there as a direct comparison.

Exciting stuff, I have been keeping off of the site while I have been without the car as I knew it would make time drag due to the constant excitement, but now the end is near im finding myself taking the sneaky peaks again
cant wait to see the results.Aimy if your thinking about it I work in Sherburn so we can arrange an evening meet anytime if you want to have a look
