I had a problem with compression BEFORE the turbo went in. We surmised from a number of tests that the problem was the cracked house around the spark plugs issue.
At that point I started looking around for another engine which I could build up slowly (mostly to do with cash flow) so I didnt have to be without my car while I a) saved up the money or b) the engine was being rebuilt. All is going well 10,000km after the turbo went in.
I purchased AccessPort end of last year and ended up waiting 4 months for a combination of the device, the device recognising my car and my "calibration" tune and even then I was advised I would never be able to tune the car myself and would have a choice of one Cobb dealer in Victoria to dyno tune my car. Needless to say, in this time I got a little #$%^&ed off and Hymee stepped up and made me an offer I couldn't refused. I have since moved from the LT10S to a flash tune, but in my impatience leaned out under load and broke a dowel pin. Pure dumb stupid user error.
ALl this has done is forced me to hurry my rebuild up by 6 months. I can still drive the car, just have to stay out of boost as much as possible and watch oil level and pressure.
As for boost levels, I am aiming to daily on 11PSI and be able to get up to 1 bar. I will get dyno figures on both. Will be happy with around 250rwkw @ 1 Bar not sure yet on Nm but expecting big improvements from lightened rotating assembly and flywheel.
Cheers

You've got it bad Andrew, lol.
I can see it now. You win Lotto, have a Gallardo LP-560 delivered and then start stroking your chin thinking..."hmmm, wonder what I can do with it...."
