Thanks Brettus, I will make a point of doing that ASAP. I've just been reading the TC/SC kit comparision thread and see that at 5.5k rpm my 4 port motor may not be that far off the 6 port pace. The very interesting thing for me now is where it starts to choke. MM suggests it will be much sooner than the 6 port.....but maybe I can get a more impressive figure than expected.

Cheers!

Yes the CEL is still there, it isn't just one thing but many. Personally it doesnt bother me anymore and I can't be assed trying to get rid of it.

Just picked up the mag that has the article on your car . You weren't kidding when you said they got things a bit wrong ! 204 kw at the wheels - 6 speed gearbox - leather trim - 4 pot calipers !!!! Other than that it's a good article and I think the first 8 with FI that they have featured ?
BTW - my car is also in that same edition . have a look at page 30
As a comparison - I did a 1.23 lap that day which put me 1/2 way down the field - good enough to beat a couple of new STI's however .

Do you plan on tuning above 8psi rotor ?

Yeah, just a few errors!

I did see yr 8 in the mag..good **** for tracking it bro.

I think mine is the first FI 8 in there....my tuner/fabricator is getting a lot of enquiry from other 8 owners to do something similar.

I intend to go for 12PSI. Its going to be a long road however as I will do it in stages and upgrade other components as I go along.
