Anonymous Unregistered A	Ive heard alot of good things about westward. I am thinking of taking a run down with yellow_coop to see about getting a Unichip fitted as they're one of the only official Unichip dealers in Ireland. I use East Coast Customs who have worked on both mine and yellow_coops cars so at least they've a bit of experience of working with the coop.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Haven't sorted an exact time with ECC, probably early in the morning. I'll almost certainly be back up to them in October the get the PA FMIC fitted, probably on a Saturday - so that might suit better?

Anonymous Unregistered A	FYI, I've just found out that there's a RR 2 mins walk from my house in Dublin - it's on Nottingham Street in North Strand. Their workshop have also just rebuilt a 20VT! Last edited by davidub; 28/08/2006 16:22.

Anonymous Unregistered A	New firm with a rolling road just opened 2 units down from Linnane's workshop in Rathnew. Couldn't get in as they had a jumbo dog (half wolf, half donkey) wandering around that hadn't been fed for a week. Don't know anymore about them: Various scruffy old Japanese power wagons dotted around but not a soul in the place so no prices etc.

I have a boost gauge fitted 3 weeks now and it's reading the max boost 1.1 bar. I got the fiat code number for that pipe( the one you run the boost gauge off) that Martin at Westward told us to keep an eye on if case it cracks. It's part no. 46468079 and costs €8.99. I'm keeping the boost gauge on till the meet, so you can check out the boost for me and then it's coming off the car! "Mighty MO"

I'm keeping the boost gauge on till the meet, so you can check out the boost for me and then it's coming off the car! 1.1bar that doesn't match up with your RR result. The RR I'm using at the moment is in Lisburn - so it's a bit of a trek. Edited to say: if I had to guess, I'd say you've got a novitec chip or something. If you remove the 10mm bolts on the ECU cover and pull out the metal box, you'll see straight away whether someone has opened it before (from the condition of the metal tab thingys!). Edited again to say: the other strange thing about your result is that you seem to lose power quite early (at 5k rpm), I would have thought your torque curve would have held steady to 5.5k or more - this could be down to the EBV (hopefully not the turbo!). A PRV should smooth out your spike and maybe get you up to 260 BHP if it can convince your turbo to hold on to that nice torque you have a bit longer! Last edited by davidub; 12/10/2006 19:09.

I have not heard good things about this tuning shop, www.trackdayperformance.com I know Turbo-Tech in Bray always use them but Linnane's have always told me to stay clear of them, Earlsie John Linanne doesnt know his arse from his elbow and wouldnt have a clue what he would be looking at if he was to try and service a trackday or race car and its engine.So shut up with the bullsht here. Can I ask you something?Have you actually had 1st hand experience with Robbie and Trackday Performance or spoken to the man in person?Probably not. Merely listening to bullshit talk from others who have nothing better to do. Well dont believe what other people tend to warble on about.People talking alot of shte about Robbie.Why?Because hes that good at his job that it makes others sick to see him succeed.Alot of jealous and bitter people out there that just talk crap about others. Robbie and Trackday Performance are one of the best engine building/tuning and race car prep companies in Ireland.2500 bhp Dynapack dyno room in house along with full CNC machine shop facilities. Robbie has built 3 turbocharged engines and looks after all of my race and road cars.Hes a very easy going and very sound man who knows about all engine turbo and n/a. He also installs stand alone management systems and maps then for F3 cars,Rally cars (Dunlop Rally series Group N Evos,Scoobies,Modified RWD Escorts and Corolla,s etc etc) and fast road and trackday cars too.He also builds and prpes some very fast and powerfull Evos and Skyline GTR,s with over 700bhp in them. I reccommend Trackday Performance to any Irish person on this forum. Last edited by paddy147; 16/06/2007 00:38.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Well,when all the Northern Irish modified RWD Dunlop rally car boys and the Group N Rally Evo and Scoobie boys trailer their cars down from the North down to Rathnew to get mapped and dynoed by Robbie,that says something about his tuning/mapping skills and his service. Top man,top company and top service too. I will be down there tomorrow working on the 147 Cup race car.The back and inside of it is cut out now so its time for some serious measuring up and welding to start on it.
