No, I have not had a chance to fit the new check valve so its still not operational. The intercooler is getting hotter with the increased boost so the spray will come in real handy during Sumer.

Clutch = Exedy FMK-8185SMFHD Its an organic clutch rated to 1000nm

Surprisingly very light. About half as much pressure as my previous (standard?) clutch. My wife drove it to the city this morning in peak hour and she loves the clutch. Its very sensitive though and I stalled it twice on the way home. I'm used to it now though.

Why HPF. I had a choice between 2 reputable tuners in my area:

Rob at HPF answered all my questions (including quotes within 24 hours (usually within a few hours). Basically he gave a sh*t, so I thought he will still probably give a sh*t when he has my car. As it turns out the customer service during the work was great. I got a phone call most days to advise me of progress. The price on unexpected replacements were very reasonable.

The other tuner took 3 tries to get a response, then I emailed for a quote. 2 weeks went by so I rang, "no worries just have not got to it yet". I then submitted another email to quote T56 supply and install. To this day I have not had a response to either quote request. I was too scared to inconvenience then by giving them my car.

Those exxedy clutches sound like two china plates banging together but clamp real well.

Always a trade off in the performance world

I had a twin exedy in my old BA turbo which had 330rwkw... was in for 1 week, stuck the two plates together and roasted itself.. never again! I got my money back, and went for a single plate Malwood option 3 clutch! which was fantastic

HPF don't enough kudos IMO , they just do what they do.

Rob and team also hosted a forum dyno day as part of the BVWE

with quite a few guys getting tunes as well before racing at Heathcote.

If you dig into the bowels there are some good threads, Wog bashing a plenty

and with good reason

They have been tuning Ts since the beginning and along with CV

had the fastest Ts in the country for some time.

@Cameron......how many Kms on your BA?

Just curious now with over 300rwkw being pumped out of that engine how it should hold up. I've heard a couple of times about BA turbo engines not handling 300+ due to the rods they came with.

At the same time, there are a few around puting out as much as 330 quite happily.

Mine has punched out over 1160nm of torque in 4th for a while now on the skinny rods... Mind you on eflex.

Bit of a hit and miss and it really does boil down to the tune in most cases.
