alpine turbo done
lol thanks Random for the pic and answering the questions i should of checked back earlier. As for the Yellow lines im not sure must have been when they were tuning. StrongWS6 It was done on a rolling road so as far as i know those are the actuall figures. They also have the most powerfull fans in the uk(about 100mph wind) so that helped with tuning the turbo in conjunction with the intercooler.

im on 98 gas and yes i used the spacer. But one thing i noticed is the fact that thier site says on the conversion that they produce 238bhp and 281ftlb this has got to be a load of crap as mine runs really well. but i have changed the air intake for a better one, BBTB, ported inlet manifold and custom stainless exhaust system and im still not at those fugures. So the fact that they say your problems are due to the diffarences in the US spec are crap as i have the same spec car as they do and it wont give that power without other mods. Mind you there figures state 156 bhp and 158 ftlb as standard.mmmmmmmmm.

Damn, I wonder if the gas grade is making the difference. The best Gas I can get is 100 Octane "race" gas, but it is like $4.00 a gallon. I can't afford $50 fill ups! The best "premium" gas I can get is 91 Octane.
Alpines South African website Dyno also is "ENGINE HP ESTIMATE" So if you are getting 220 HP to the wheels, I'd say that's damn good, and I'd be darn happy with that.

I cant believe you lot moaning about the price of petrol ive just worked it out and i pay $5.41 for a gallon of 98 and the cheapest ive seen in the UK is $5.12 and thats for 95 which is the lowest fuel avialable here. $2 , $4 i wish.
