****, what done to your car? will have to come around and take me for a blat! well u had around 240rwkw, at 15 pond, and u have turned it up 10psi, so that means u as long as the turbo is still in it's limit, fuel and everything is still enough and working out 7-9kw for each pond of boost i'm safe to say u are running over 300rwkw nice, wait till the wet session, should be fun then!
