In its current state with the shitty Microtech ECU and low boost it makes 198rwkw but with new Fuel system and Coils with the Haltech im hoping for about 230rwkw

Did some cleaning up in the engine bay and moved the coil and other things to under the battery tray and also moved the alarm module off the strut tower as well to clean up the bay a bit

hey i can send you a good base tune for the sprint 500 or sport 1000. i just got my Triton efi'd with the Platinum Sport 1000 i'd recommend spending the extra and getting a sport rather than sprint- i must admit i haven't owned a sprint but the sport has a lot of useful features and it has really limitless features and settings. and IMO having the ignition tuned makes a big difference.

Cheers Mate, might take you up on that.

I have already purchased the 500 so will stick with that for now but im sure in the future i will upgrade to a Haltech with more features.

Turbo is great however what you said is true never take your daily off the road for anything like this as it is then no longer a daily :P

Nope not at this point, as it is the PWS is still complete under covers, my temp plan was to hill climb it and put my 2lt carby turbo stuff on it but at this stage i just want to focus on one thing at a time, spread yourself to thin and i find you get less done.

Took a while to accept that logic though :P

Plan is for these to be re trimmed in the GSR blue to match what TUFSIG already has but still have the small recaro badge

Oh so true.
I have another theory as well. Don't start something, until you are ready to start on it. Think about it, if you start playing with something before you have the time to commit, then you end up generally not getting it done.
