Good stuff mate, just picked up Autotech internals built into a brand new OE revision K pump myself yesterday too.

I've heard even on stage 1 gains can be noticeable, differs from car to car though obviously.

Let me know if it makes a difference, one step closer to 2+ :drool:

Will do, not expecting much with the stage 1 map but will see if I can notice anything. Only BCS to add then, oh and maybe a turbo upgrade when funds allow lol

New Forest, you local to the Bournemouth area then? I'm a local, not sure if I've seen you about or not.
 
FYI you can get that TTE420 on exchange for your old turbo for £1067, I was speaking to Simon (ex Loba now with TTE) on Facebook the other evening, looks an amazing wee hybrid too on paper, just waiting for some feedback and I might drop the cash on it myself if all is good :)

I'm up for exchange as long as they send one to me first, then I send my old one. Cant be without the motor for a month or so. Tried looking for a second hand one but can't find any.

Yeah they can do that mate, they charge you full price, send it then refund the difference on receipt of yours. :)
 
Soooo tempting to delay 2+ and go straight to tte420 and water meth

Would just be water injection on our cars mate as the throttle body butterfly is abs plastic, mechanol would eat it quick sharp.

Water injection still excellent though for cooling which ultimately lets you run more timing = more power :)

So they say.

And I did a lot of checking on the same topic.

Mine has run 50% meth for a good few yrs and no issues.

That's after the induction system has been stripped down a few times and checked.

The alternative is to use a USRT spacer and inject above the TB.
You would also need a 1 bar check valve for that to prevent WM bring aspirated when the throttle is closed.
 
Loba pump looks perfect and fridays weather is so far looking Dry :rock:

I'm looking forward to the results! If you don't mind me asking what price was it through Mark

Update on the LOBA pump.

Had the pump on a week now and I'm sure the ECU has adapted for the better. So much more grunt through the range, lovely and smooth. Great acceleration in the higher gears, just doesn't give up. Really impressed. Can't wait to get the BCS ordered and fitted and the Bluefin Stage 3 map added.

This car just keeps getting better. Gonna need to sort the brakes too!!!
