Mick couldn't get more than ~280rwkw out of mine on stock injectors (6 speed manual BA MKII) but that's not to say it can't be done.. might just be a slightly riskier tune.The T5 held up well with that power for that long though!Ryan, I gotta say, I can't friggin stand the T5! I reckon its the biggest piece of crap box ever and I can't believe you are putting another one in! The shift is sloppy and I think the last time I shifted from 2nd to 3rd in one I was able to send a text message, scratch my nuts and re-program the radio presets! Totally understand you need your car and T56s aren't cheap, but fark me dead man, you are gonna be up sh*t creek again in no time unless you drive like a grandpa from now on!End rant...the dyno sheet he posted up of the tune was rather lean... around 13.1 iirc...
