You mean fuel map there?

Thus one of the things on my list to do before I go back for a balls out run is a bigger aftermarket cam.
A combination of aftermarket cam and larger turbo exhaust housing removed my 4500rpm power limit.

Well that's right but in here on the JB style TBI (same as the 2.6) looks pretty ugly. It looks half blocked up plus lots of sharp edges inside. Die grinder time!

Yeh me too but it would be interesting to see how much you could improve it, plus I have this JB TBI to play with. No just put the Magna manifold on......talking to myself here!

Yes, it was in the car. But after the car was tuned.. we found the cam was not dialled in correctly. And I still had the standard TC06 at that time.

So since then it has been retuned with a TD06-17C.

At 3000rpm its making around 60 kw atw - so yes a bit sluggish.
By 4000rpm its making around 140kw atw.

So during this 1000rpm range you can really feels the affects of the cam and larger turbo.

Power keeps increasing upto redline (6200rpm) but not as dramatically.

I think I found one of the reasons for the bad drop in power on my dyno chart. Partly is due to injectors, but the main reason is due to the exhaust manifold having a huge leak in it. When they grinded the welds back, they grinded them too far.

Don't have the torque print out. Will try and remember to get one next time I drop in there.
