OVERCHARGED FOR PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENTS?

[nickytwohats]

Well I was today......






I took my GT03 into Roush for Trevor to do some work. We agreed a price. They added the exhaust, intercooler, a new map and a few other bits and bobs.

They charged me more than agreed.





How much?

It's shocking!

£4.72

I could have bought a pint and a bit.

The results are wonderful! Power to 391 (or 414 bhp) torque in a great big fat wad from 3250 to the limit (could have been more but the 'box wouldn't last).

Love that noise!

Thanks Trevor and all the team at Roush.

Take a photo of it and whak that up.

The new exhaust is great isn't it!!

I'd demand either my £4:72 back, or 100 more horses

Did put cats in.

Also offered Trevor a £ per BHP payment plan but he refused...probably best.

TREVOR - can you post my graphs please whilst I'm away?

N2H,

Emails a pdf to you and TPBG as I have no way of hosting.

Phil, would you do the honours, please?

Thanks

very nice. 3500-6000 must be very easy to drive, is Trevor making the graphs look like the US ones?

But so much lower

OK. Numpty question looming.
When the books/mags quote a bhp, is it the flywheel or 'at the wheel' bhp?

Flywheel, at least in the UK.

Flywheel, at least in the UK.

Usually Flywheel no ancilleries, perfect conditions, blueprinted engine and some of them even get the figure at the cams.

Hey Congrats mate well done!

No new throttle body Trevor said he'd given it all the 'box could handle and so wouldn't be worthwhile for me until I put a 6spd in...
