The conversion is designed to work and prove itself on the road [ when there is an appropriate amount of airflow ]. The only way to get the true figures is to capture the information whilst the car is moving. { if someone has this equipment , I am happy for them to record the information from my car }.

I hope you get your car sorted and the way you want it to be, however I think that it would be wrong for people to read this thread and assume that there is something fundamentally wrong with the BBR 220 conversion. A 19% pulley conversion makes for a great fast road car with loads of torque which can be used on the road everyday.

hi,
i think you're right! - i suspect there are other issues with my car. paul did drive my conversion and monitor IATs as well - and they ran up to 69c at 7000rpm. and up to 55c at 5000 rpm. obviously need to repeat this testing once any potential problems are ironed out. - if the IATs remain that high - it may be worth you popping down 1320 and getting them to live test your car rather than dyno it. no harm done there and should be accurate. thinkmini also have good live monitoring equipment too. 50000 miles of throuble free motoring is great! good for you!
