sorry Gents i really have been rather sh#te at keeping this thread up to date, i didn't realise i'd left out all the engine rebuild details (only the most important part!)

no, not running megasquirt anymore, couldn't get going with it so changed to motec as there's a good motec delaer here with his own rolling road.

on top of the a full gearbox rebuild and the addition of the custom turbokraft intercooler the following engine work was carried out:

replacement original 3.0 crankshaft
JE 3.2 pistons & barrels
piston rings & circlips
964 cams
996 turbo oil pump
reconditioned rockers
cam carrier oil feed tube
fan impellor
new clutch
timing chains
idler sprocket
crankcase gasket kit
rod bushing set
main bushing set
sump plate
cyl head gasket set
cam chain sprocket
crankshaft pulley
splash valve
964 intake valves
930 sodium cooled exhaust valves
valve guides
flywheel bolts
conrod bolts
intergear shaft thrust bearing
intergear bearing
valve adjusting screws
conrod nuts
oil press switch
chain tensioner feed piipes
oil sump shaft
oil pressure tansmitter
suction hose oil tank - oil cooler
clubsport engine mounts
piston squirters
boattailed crankcase
cam squiters
Motec M600 with 550cc injectors and audi individual coil packs
K72 HFS turbo
B&B headers without heat exchangers (it doesn't get cold here!)
Turbo Thomas 930 back box
carrera oil cooler with elephant racing fan

items in bold carried out for performance upgrade reasons, the rest service items during overhaul.

the power graph above was achieved on 98 fuel as it's freely available here and the stock 0.8 bar boost spring - i'd love to see what would happen with bigger boost but i'm just too scared!

so now it's a short stroke 3.2 turbo with a 'zero tolerance' larger turbo on EFi. revs very freely and gets boost from low down. still has turbo lag of course but it isn't too bad and can easily be factoring into driving style.
