How did he measure the power? Nearly every method/outcome is different

"Tune was done by matouks racing , it made 230rwhp on the dyno on a very safe tune .. The car is good for 300+rwhp"
and the stock VL power rating is at the fly not the wheels.
asking a little high if you ask me but.

That's 171 kw mate. There could be a hundred reasons why it didn't make more power, might need a bigger fuel pump or something minor like that.

Sorry but for me the warning lights would be straight on with that home made plenum.
Yes my cousin jims brothers mothers friend uses one and runs nine's but looks like a engine melting combo.
Your money. Your choice.

"The car is engineered for everything listed including turbo , front mount , exhaust , steering wheel , boot gauge etc"
boost gauge, exhaust? need a engineers cert for that?

petros not having a go honestly but those home made plenums work, may not be pretty but do the job and well, GH0747 has it on his car that went 7.9@168mph on wed
as for the car, could be hi-comp/ no fuel/ very little boost/ pinging/ could be a number of things really my 2c

23-03-12, 23:52 GMT+10#10 Thats a maatouks style plenum, lol
Im selling my rajab to go to one of these, on back to back dyno's they made 15hp less, and were on full boost 1000rpm sooner than an aftermarket higher flow plenum, on one of anths customers cars.
Temper and GH both use them.
BUT that being said, it doesnt look exactly like the ones ive seen at his shop, it just looks slightly different for some reason, could be a dodgy home made version. Not that it would make a hell of a lot of difference...
