dimis Looking good mate. What size of supercharger pulley are you using?I have 150mm and the boost is 7psi.
I'm running a stage one pulley, not sure on actual size, however tdi say it boosts at 7psi, you boost at 7psi with a 150, but Stix and jay run a 160 and that's boosting at 7psi? So now none of that makes any funking sense whatsoever :blink:
EDIT:
TDI say 130mm pulley gives 3psi 150mm pulley gives 5psi and 160mm pulley gives 6.5psi

Cheers man, it needs some tlc mind, bit of carbon repair wouldn't go a miss but I'm happy with it! Tidies up the bay nice

I am running 7psi with 150mm pulley. Stix is running the same with his 160mm pulley because his belt is sliping at high revs. He has not managed yet to solve this problem!!!BTW I never exaggerate. There is no point of doing it! See a recent video of my car and look at the boost gauge. The boost reaches 7psi!!!

Id agree with Dimi. All the stuff tdi quote is from years ago when they weren't very successful tuning IS200's I take info with a pinch of salt

Ah we're not taking it as gospel mate, just assuming really, I'm just trying to make sense of it all, so jay should be running more boost on his 160 as he has no belt slip so more like 8/9 psi?

Fair play. I wasn't calling you a liar though. I was just stating my confusion on the matter. I look forward to getting a boost gauge hooked up and finding out what I'm running!

Pinch of salt I would say that most of what they said was complete bullshit.

Keep up the good work, spent most of the day reading through this and the other IS threads. I'm impressed.

So, a little bit has happened since I last posted.
I finished my four wheels:

But next on the list was a clutch. Mine was shagged and needed replacing! Me and Stix smashed it out in true northen style in the rain/sleet/snow! Top effort, cheers mate
The clutch we fitted was an exedy one.:

Works a treat, now I've noticed I have belt slip so a new belt has been ordered and should arrive with me tomorrow
Still to do from my last update is my oil change and my spark plugs! Too much work and not enough play time!
On the bright side, these beauties arrived today:

Thanks to OptionAutohouse for a super fast and reasonable service!
Went for 205/40/18 all round so the stretch on the back end will be slightly more. I hope it gives me the look I'm going for! Getting these fitted on Wednesday so this week my new wheels will be on! I can't ******* wait hahaha!
Also picking the new fmic up this weekend
Pics to come with the new wheels on! Already booked in for a shoot with a top local photographer!
Cheers
