                      Didn't he make 375hp at the wheels? That's about 300kw at the engine, maybe more.

                        And IM pretty sure that was on low boost. Check out the hill climb video earlier in this thread, this car is an animal!

                          Pretty close, It made 270kw (361hp) at the wheels that was with the exhaust disconnected from behind the cat at 17psi.

                          Currently I'm running a bit less power at slightly higher boost owing to a somewhat restrictive exhaust. But the exhaust is quiet I'm not really after chasing numbers, I'm sure with a bigger rear exhaust section and more flowing mufflers I could make 300kw ATW but as I said, i'm not interested in chasing numbers! (really I just cant be bothered or justify the expense of making a new exhaust because who am i kidding, i'd love 300kw atw!) Also my wastegate wont hold more than 18psi, need one with a tighter spring.

                          ^ the truth! I honestly haven't gone around dragging anybody, not my style but I know on the roll the bora is solidly faster than my mates R32 GTR and also a lot quicker than an R8 Clubsport. An Aurion wouldn't stand a chance

                          Currently I'm running around 18psi. Power wise with the exhaust in its current form its dropped it to 340hp at the wheels, but it makes a ridiculous amount of torque so i'm not fussed. So far so good with the gearbox and diff *touch wood*

                          I know I could make more power but time vs effort vs expense vs gain is keeping me from doing more work. Plus its bloody fast as it is so i'm focusing more now on making it corner better and stop better. Hopefully i'll have some anti-knock-back-springs for my calipers soon, i've got new wheel bearings ready to put in and i'll have some nice pads soon too.

                            • I'm heading to the drags this Saturday so might have some timeslips! That's if I can get it off the line well.

                                do you have launch control enabled on your ECU ?
                                with AWD surely you would have no problems getting it to hook ..
