if other engine compoments fitted then yea... (like rods, pistons etc as part of a full BT conversion)
I was told to do a few hundred miles on the new turbo first before they got the car back and mapped up on the rollers. They only done this as i live close to Jabba. They usually do the bedding in period themselves so when the customer collects their car, it is all mapped up and ready to go. Also i wanted to do that as i had a couple of long journeys i needed to go on.
I imagine it's so that "if" there is a mechanical weak point it's not 10 mins after the punter runs out the workshop.... wouldn't make good PR if you have over £5k, then get recovered back 10 mins later
Well been to Jabba again today to get the car set up and mapped. The results are excellent 351bhp and 368lbft of torque. 
The sad thing is that mike had to peg the torque back to around 350lbft as he was worried about the rods breaking. "It made him wince a bit" at the level of boost it was running. But the results are amazing! 
He also modified the air box to help it breath better and to get more cold air in.
They are a great bunch there and very helpful, all in all it was a great day.
The added bonus was that Golf+ magazine was there doing a feature on Jabba and i have managed to hopefully be in the magazine with pictures of my car and me!
Think it has to be rods and valves next!

Yeah i know, but i have the boost controller so i have just to behave myself.
Also Mike rekons it will be fine.
Nothing wrong with the bhp it will be fine. Like has been said its generally high torque that really puts stress on components.
Nice results.

Oh - ho you`ve really got the bug now! - great figures! well done!
Great result well done! What boost is that - peak, what does it hold and what at the redline?
And when do you get the peak power and torque in the rev range? Any graph?
Also, eaht intercooler you running with that?
Fantastic result either way though!

It is running about 1.6 bar high and 1.1 bar low boost settings.
On the graph the torque peaks at 4244rpm, and the power at 6061rpm.
It is still 330bhp at 7500rpm!
I will add the graph to the thread soon.
Im running Jabbas own intercooler, and when i do get the head flowed whilst having the rods and valves done i will plumb in the aquamist set up to try and kill temperature's as the turbo will running around 1.8bar (its limit).

Mike did up the rev limiter to 7750rpm. Only other thing is a Miltek single box system but the rest is all Jabba.

Just getting some final few bits of info that's all..... Mainly because i've sourced the parts for an IHI now rather than GTRS......
Raf
do you need a turbo and injectors to complete?

fingers crossed the bearings keep going for you
Awesome - now you just need to buy shares in a tyre company... or see if they do a discount on bulk buys...
