Is this the first map since the turbo has been clocked?
It would be interesting to see how much power you gain at the same boost from decent pipe routing.

done a bit more tonight I have made a new and improved rear strut brace

I had some 5mm thick plates made up
Image

but found that the holes were in the wrong place:(
Image

so after a bit or re drilling got the plates to fit :)

Image

got some of the roll cage tube I have and made the brace up
Image
Image
Image
Image
then did a bit of welding
Image
Image

and you end up with this :)
Image

as you can see much thicker and stronger then the stock 1 you can get
Image
Image
Image
just got fill the old holes up and paint it up :)

If you're feeling adventurour, you could triangulate that rear strut brace and take it down to the floor - there's a bolt hole cunningly located there :)

Great work by the way :)

cams were all read in the car from the first time i built it:) so the extra power is just from good rings and better pipe work, we dident have to do any thing with the cams as thay were all read set to get the max out of them :)

With 370 lb/ft I bet that is a real hoot to drive.

The graphs look like you are still choking at high RPM due to soemthing. Could be the limits of the turbo - close to 400 on a hybrid is pretty darn good going.
