Haha... what the F have I done biggrin.gif

Ok first things first.

Being a brand new diff but using my existing gears the boys ran the car up twice. They didn't want to go any further with the car right now because of the diff.

Load a base tune and the car ran up 359rwkw. One more run and the car now sits with 365rwkw at 15.5psi. It is described to me as being a very soft tune and the car is doing it easy! lol.gif what the hell is a good tune and slightly more boost going to do? evil_laughter.gif

I've been told by Chris with it throughly heatsoaked and basically been run back to back a number of times I can expect around 375rwkw and run up from cold with 17psi in the car it should be in the vicinity of 385rwkw and 'be doing it easy'... this is with stock valve springs too. Completely uncracked engine.

Chris has imposed a 3000rpm rev limit in the tune for the next 1000kms and then a complete tune will be performed when it safe to run the diff at extended high RPM and high load.

Immediately the first thing I have noticed is that the Di Filippo is fairly loud. Not completely annoying, I want to cut my wrists loud but it certainly has plenty of presence. The black tips on the exhaust are awesome. Stealth look to them, not too big but if you know what you are looking for then you you'll know smile.gif

What I felt was fairly lazy response from the GTX with the factory exhaust at light throttle input has now changed a fair bit. It is starting to build boost quite nicely and noticabley by 2500RPM now, of course with the rev limit the 'fun' is over very quickly but immediately the response has improved markedly.

What else? Not sure... is the 1000kms over yet? yelrotflmao.gif

Holy sh*t that's good. So with a couple of more pounds and a re tune you could even crack 400. Can't imagine how good it sounds.

Pics of the rear with the new exhaust tips?

Basically yes it could run 400rwkw+ with enough boost in it. That kind of stuff would be in the domain of a built motor though. Not for now. Theo did tell me with a manual in it right now it would be close to 390rwkw, with 385rwkw in mine it would be over 400rwkw in a manual. He also said, don't worry about that as with the auto it'll leave the manual for dead anyway haha :)

I've put a pic of the tips above here but the car is on the hoist at BPR. I can if you wanted head out to the garage and put up a pic of the car on the ground.

Awesome stuff... Just put a decent cooler in there and shoot for the stars I say..

Chees MiKa! The BPR boys were quite suprised at how much the PWR cooler has flowed for starters but how well it's done too. Would a super thick, cut up your car cooler work better? Yeah more than likely. I am not and will not cut this car up to fit an intercooler. Just don't want to.

As far as I know it comes as a complete kit. What piping are you running on your car?

From a fit and finish point of view it is excellent. It married up to the PWR intercooler no problems. From intercooler to throttlebody, I have the larger of the 2 versions done by Plazmaman. It won't fit around an XR8 airbox snorkel. With 'enough work' it'll fit around the factory snorkel. I haven't seen an SS Growler intake in person so can't give you an honest answer mate.

With the BPR intake, as it deletes any kind of snorkel it is an easy fit. There isn't much room there when you have 3 different kinds of piping/hoses all in the same place. Radiator, snorkel for intake and piping for the turbo.
