Crap hahaha but she is running so I'm happy, have worked out my finances and I can possibly get the car back to ktec next month if they have a slot for me
they want it for a week and then she will be sweeeeeeet .In the meantime I may buy a boost gauge and air/fuel ratio gauge. This would mean I could actually connect the boost pipes and see what's going on
I have a friend who is a god with mapping and said he is sure something can be done on the standard ecu and injectors. As the car will only be running a very low boost to start with all standard internals and ancillaries should be good up to about 7psi ish which is all that would be run anyway. Could be interesting. Shall keep you all informed

Cage looks nice, and I approve the naked interior (but you still have so many things that can go away to make it more fun ).
Great topic, interesting to follow and nice to see someone having the guts to try turbo-ing the Twingo.

Having driven the car for a few days now I have started to fall back in love and have realised what an amazing little car the Twingo rs is. Nothing I have ever driven reacts in quite the same way or turns in as well or gives you that buzz when you hit an apex on a corner going faster than you should haha. (Obviously on private roads)
I'm not sure what it is but I think this one seems to handle better that the old one did before I put the coilovers on it.
Possibly could be the h&r springs cus the old car had apex ones. Could also be the fact that the cage has made the car feel more rigid.
Whatever it is I LOVE IT.
Car is booked in to KTEC for the end of August for the gen90 installation, bigger injectors and mapping.
Probably won't see much progress untill then as I will be saving money hahaha. Neeeed to get a passanger seat though (girlfriend is screwing, have to pick her up In the nemo for the time being)

Hi guys,
Dropped the Car off at ktec on Saturday morning hopefully I shall have it back in a week or two with a fully functioning gen90 and garret gt2560 turbo I am not working very closely with a company called stealthsport who are now my sponsor.
Have had use of this for a few days and I'm loving it. Got a custom front lower chassis brace from pure motorsport that will be released soon. And pure motorsport top mounts, along with the whiteline arb and h&r springs. Also running some 15" speedline Tarmac rally wheels wrapped in falcons. Really impressed with the outcome for such a cheap setup. We will look to release a "handling pack" at a decent price for anyone interested
