Just finished on the dyno, and the headline figures are 325hp, 388 lbft. Happy with that!
Thats a great result, 388ft/lbs will be cracking fun!560Nm @ 2500 may cause some issues in the snow, but if the tyres can handle it the rest of the year will be fun

Very nice! More than enough

Nothing more than intake kit, intercooler and exhaust (and obviously the remap to make it work and an RS flywheel/clutch to handle the power)? Awesome.

Thanks all, I am also very happy with the power and torque outputs, more than I was hoping for. I'm also happy with the way that it's running, slightly rich just to keep the turbo temps down. Guys at the rolling road thought it was running nicely too, which is always a bonus!https://youtu.be/VK5ADL57j7Y?t=5m34s

A bit of a photo update from last weekend...
Old shell on the way to the scrap yard.

Where we found that one of the employees had one, so we had a good chat.
Then on to the rolling road. I had asked them if they had somewhere to keep a trailer whilst we did the run, so they were slightly surprised (understandably so) when we turned up with an empty trailer and did the run on the tow car!
Then onward to pick up a new workbench for my next project, the Land Rover chassis swap and restoration.
The car towed beautifully all day and 150miles. Mainly due to a wonderful nearly new Brain James, not much load and that torque!
The next day was down to Goodwood for the Sunday Service, where the car attracted some attention which was nice
On the way back the car developed a bit of a boost hesitation so I ordered a new boost solenoid. And then on Monday evening after work the car went into full on, 15mph, limp mode, and sounded rough. The computer suggested that it was the throttle body, but the internet didn't seem to feature many failures of these on STs but had a few more on Volvo T5 stuff. Anyway, on Friday I picked up a secondhand throttle body and several hours later it was all fixed (including the boost solenoid that cured the boost hesitation). Old and new below, old is pretty dirty inside and out but it was the actual motor mechanism inside the casing that had failed.
That's all for now, but I'm sure that will be some more soon.

You said at the Sunday Service there was an issue, you thought it was MAF sensor. I assume you sorted it befoer the dyno?
Yes, you are right, the boost hesitation had cropped up a little bit a couple of days before. It was hardly noticeable until the drive home from Goodwood, and behaved itself beautifully on the dyno, as the problem was only showing up on very light throttle.After a bit more research I thought the best place to start was on the boost solenoid, then it would have been MAP sensor after that, then MAF sensor.
Apologies if it's been said already and I've missed it, but what engine mods are you running? Some impressive figures going on. Are you still running standard clutch or has it been changed to the RS setup. Also have you done any brake and chassis/suspension tweaks to cope?
As I said earlier, must be a real giggle, mine puts a massive smile on my face, the noise is too addictive, in Electric Orange however it'll never be discrete!
