The plan is to use the JB with the single turbo backend flash. With stock fueling the car should be good for 450whp. The next step will be to use a stage 3 Fuel-it with the BMS port injection kit and the FSB for the JB. In that form the car may achieve 600whp. Just a rough estimate based on my research. Time will tell.

Update:
The Turbo is on the car. The JB firmware has been updated with the latest Single Turbo Firmware. I have also loaded the Single Turbo Backend Flash from BMS (thanks for the BT cable Fsalie)
There is still a lot of work to be done on the car. We need to neaten up the water lines, a bracket for the water bottle (I want to use the M135i or similar water bottle as it isn't as tall as the stock water bottle) The manifold is currently wrapped. I am not a big fan of wraps so I still need to get a custom heat shield fabricated. I am still using the stock MAP sensor so I can only boost to 20psi. This will change shortly.
Down the Business. With the completely stock fuelling system (over 111k km on the car) and 15% ethanol we have already achieved more than my initial estimates. Quite a lot more than I expected. This was achieved at 18psi.
My rough estimation: on 20% eth and completely stock fueling we will hit 500whp comfortably. We will be benchmarking the car on the strip soon. Only 1km runs. the car has the stock clutch and until I upgrade it I'm not going to do a full bore launch. I have fitted the car with an M Performance rear spoiler, just in case:rollsmile:
A very big thanks to Leon and his team from FR&R Centurion who piloted this project.
His dedication to see this project through is remarkable.raise:
I will post a video of a test run asap.
Once we done with the tuning I will run the car at KAR and post the results.
