stef's 205 gti6 supercharged

[Stef205]

The day before mapping, I drained the oil from the engine as it was only used to run the engine for the first time and to get it through its first lot of heat cycles. 
Drain and refilled with mobil 10w/60 and a genuine oil filter.

Oil choices can be very opinionated but ive used this stuff since owning the car and its served me well with no failures or issues so i just continue to use it.

Loaded up and headed for Cornwall!

Arrived at ARM bmw and motorsport and what a place! 

As always nothing goes to plan and tbh i never expected it to with a new setup. As we got into the higher pulls and higher loads suddenly we had a real rough idling issue, after about 30mins of looking for a air leak we discovered the exhaust cam pulley had slipped! luckily i had built the engine with plenty of valve to piston clearance so a case of moving the cam back and all was good again! With that said it happened about 3 times again only after full hard pulls. 

I then moved the belt and the pulley to the end of its adjustment so it couldnt move even if it tried which worked! Sandy then continued to work his magic which then saw us welcoming the 205 into the 300hp club! something id never expected to see! completely shocked. 

We called it a day with the map pretty much there i was told there was more in it but for now its enough lol. The car had been completely transformed and is very drive-able and a animal when needed. 




Sadly the gopro failed and the only video i have was filmed on a android potato!
