    So here's my attempt to keep PSC alive - posting a none Punto!

    Not a lot's happened in the last 18 months to be honest. The wheels have got tatty due to a previous bad paint job, and I scraped the rear wing. Both are still to be sorted (real life really interferes doesn't it?).

    More interestingly though I got a 3" custom exhaust fitted last week and the map tweaked. It's never good news with me and it's not holding the boost levels we hoped up the rev range. Around 4800 it drops from 1.5 bar to 0.9 bar at redline. Most likely candidate is the people who specced the turbo were ***** and done it wrong. Better than standard but not what it should be! Good for the engine I suppose, it's monster spec and really is well under its limits.

    Saying that the car still made 304/345 and it feels faster, pushes into the seat a harder so it wasn't all in vain. Plus the downpipe no longer glows orange on hard boost runs!

    I need to have a long hard think about what to do next. Si keeps pressuring me to get some big silly turbo on it Do I really want to spend another ~ £1000 on a new hybrid and map? Potentially it could bag me 25-30bhp but it's a lot of wedge.

    I'm fitting a short shifter in the next few weeks and then next on the cards is wheels & scratch(gouge). That's probably the best part of £500. After that I'd really love to get it detailed as the paint needs some machine love!

    Looks good CaL. I was really tempted by one of these a few months ago.
