Mapping today and.............

[Tan]

The Turbo Technics actuator arm snapped!!!

We were doing one of the final runs and I could hear a slight noise when I hit 7k. Andy asked me to do a 4th gear run so I put my foot down and nothing happend.
We headed back to Andy's and inspected the car looking for a boost pipe that had come off only to find this lol

Its a Turbo technics S209. Was running 458/416 @ 2bar

Reason for the remap was my throttle body was leaking like mad so I bought a S90 70mm.

yeah a little unlucky but the figures from today are very similar to what the car was running before, (448, 413) but there is some more to come, as the map was changed before the throttle body was on to make sure the car was safe for a track day.

There is no damage that can be caused from this (apart from the wallet for a new one) as the wastegate doesn't close so you don't get any boost at all
