You don't have to be on here a lot to know you've made some silly claims about your FTO and its power output - not to mention your claims on other forums - heres just one from just yesterday (not going to bother to search for the many others) where you claim the white FTO is putting out 300bhp - http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=33942

Plus the spec of this white one seems to change according to the forum you are on - for instance it seems you have had a set of 350cc,365cc, 440cc and 550cc injectors in the white FTO?

Read through from the start of this thread and on page 3 theres talk of 350-400bhp which I questioned back then (7 months ago).The reality is that this FTO is undriveable as it isn't mapped - hence why it has to travel on a trailer to TDP.

Need to see dyno printouts and 1/4 mile times for my opinion to change - and it is just my opinion. If others are prepared to buy into this sh1te then thats their business.

from the link you posted above [QUOTE=d_dan;370577]This one is approx 300BHP @8psi[/QUOTE]
See the APPROX that means that it isnt proben but its an approxtimation.

I dont care what your oppinion is Shane not will I loose sleep weather you think this is Sh1te or not.

Re; the injector sizes yes I have posted different sizes previously and was because I was unclear and had been advised on what size they were but not confirmed. So from what I was told I posted up.

My advice if you change your mind pay a professional pay once and at least it will be on the road when they say it will be.

Dont really want to comment her but, Dan my advise would be keep you mouth shut, go away and get everything running good and then come back with proof of power (etc) claims and tell all us doubters to stick it where then dont shine.

Until then I would suggest no more sill claims that leave you open to ridicule (approx or not).



On a side note I am not knocking you, I like to deal in facts and the fact is you have proven nothing yet in regards to you turbo conversion

Aren't we all, its only been about 2 years, give him a bit of time to finish it. I have a sneeeeaky suspicion that the turbo project prematurely ended....(possibly in Greece....)

I'm in the same boat as you mate, but I've read a couple of threads and this Dan chap appears to be the villian of the piece...i.e. he has upset a few characters, especially a Greek bloke.

I could be totally wrong, as I said, I'm just putting pieces together here, and if I am wrong I apologise.

I think Bernard sums it up best with our Panda (head up his own ar$e) loosing control on the slippery slope that is car modifying.

He may also be into another panda for a lot of bamboo shoots.
