I think you cleared up that fact pretty clearly !

Firstly, Ashok has been away.

Secondly, after thinking about it more, recently people have been getting big power at the wheels from the standard injectors.

My car has 285 crank BHP on an off-the-shelf map, so with a bit of custom mapping, shouldn't I be seeing 340bhp easy ?

340 will be no problem, just raise the boost up and remember to slip the dyno operator some readies!!!

Hi Chris.
Weird, I thought you had already bought them as you said you had them ready to fit.....
Who has been getting big BHP at the wheels with standard injectors recently?
Also are you being serious with what are you saying about the mapping? It is obvious what Bobcat thinks you are saying, but what were you actually getting at?

Hi

I'm after just a tad more from my car ~300bhp would be nice.

After thinking about money it makes sense to call an end to physical modding to this vehicle and concentrate on it's upkeep and enjoying it !

At a recent meet I was discussing various upgrades which I am itching to do to the car, but realistically I think I am better off getting myself an S60 D5/T5/R.

Regarding the injectors, as far as I know, Ashok still has them. Although, as you can hopefully understand, he has more important things going on at the moment.

My thoughts exactly. IMO unless you are building a race car, a lot of it is money 'down the drain' anyway.
As for Ashok, yes I understand his personal predicament, however it doesn't excuse 'double dealing' in any way shape or form, especially to any of us.
Anyhooo, take it easy bud.
