Update:
Have had the car tuned - made 150rwkw (200hp) at 6700rpm with 380nm at 2800rpm
also fitted my panhard rod and then refitted my superlites with some new toyo t1r's in 195/50R15
still need to fit my adj lower control arms and an antidive kit.
also the power bug has bitten, so ive bought a new bigger turbo, buying some cam wheels, and inquiring about some better breathing cams. aiming for 180wkw (240hp) but still with low spool times and real drivable.

Goodluck with the Horsepower fever.
Great power output already. Sounds like a fun car.
Just build up another engine, and concentrate on destroying the running one?

so heres my plan I have bought a
T28 S15 ball bearings (0.64 rear housing)
Mild Ported N/A head
Set of Cams, 270degree cams with 9.2mm lift
Adjustable Cams Gears
With this set up im looking to pick up 30-40kw at the wheels, with the ability for the car to hold max boost all the way to rev limiter rather than drop 6psi like it is at the moment.
will update when ive made some more progress.

Wow. First time seeing this! Love every aspect of it. Color, rims, motor. Certainly the best looking 4 door I've seen in ages, possibly ever! Well done

Sterling Update as requested Particapated in a Skid Pan day in Attwood. Was a really good day, but myself personally was very dissapionted with both my car and myself. Car was way to soft and ( i shouldnt be complaining ) had too much traction. I was lifting the inside wheel on full opposite lock, as pictures will show.   One of my very few sucess moments

Thanks KIZZA,
just some word of advice for attwood,dont run ur good tyres as the surface is reasonably course and damages tyres if u get some decent tyre speed.
