Forged or Cast? + Boost Question for newbie.
 

Hi All,

Just picked up my first scooby, a stock JDM 2001 Bugeye STI and its bloody brilliant.

My local Scooby specialist insists it does not have forged internals but all the comments on here seem to say pre 2002 they were in fact forged and not cast.

Can anyone confirm please?

Also, on a different note. In 4th and 5th boost pressure is hitting 1.5 bar. I know standard boost is 1.1 bar. Is this down to the lower octane fuel over here? Should I get it mapped to 99? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Tah, Dan :)

If it's a JDM car its hopefully been mapped for UK fuel and probably had a performance tweak or two while they were there. Is it a fresh import or has it been in the country for a while?

Speak with Richard at FB Tuning (see Ginola's signature) he can quote for checking the map for you :ok:

Hi Red,

It just been imported, I know the importer has not mapped it, he said it would be okay on 99 but I'm not so sure. What do you think?

I guess I can run with Octane booster until I get it mapped in a few weeks :/
