Cars taken in, place is super busy so be done later than expected. But ah well what's a few more days

Cars still in the garage nothings wrong with the punto delaying it, they are just super busy. Would of been better to keep the car for a few more days

Cars still in the garage, should be done this weekend

Picking the car up this evening. will let you know how it went. says it needs a sports cat to help with lag after coming off boost but other than that its apparently "Quick as hell"!

Got the car back! made 197BHP and 165WHP. Will upload print out too. Some good news and alright news. as for the good news, soon as i get a decat and an astra 1.9 intake, it will be mapped again and more power!! alright news is goodbye to air con but i can live with that! will update this thread again as it hasnt made the full potential of power with the hybrid yet. still more than happy with the power though!

Decat ordered, 80mm MAF ordered, and the astra intake has already arrived! just need to get it booked in for after Christmas now to finally finish it all

Little update, been without a job last 3 months. Back on the grind now and getting the decat booked. Also got plans to put the z19dth engine in the punto as it might be a straight swap. Could see up to 250-280 bhp with that engine and a hybrid turbo
