Sure, no problem..

Unfortunately there's no english page.. But I can give a short overview of the car..
It's a T4 which was first tuned with a free flow exhaust, downpipe, upgrade fuel pressure regulator and ECU tuning (keeping the standard TD04hl-14t turbo) to about 270HP using 1.3 bar boost.
After that he had the turbo changed to a TD04hl-19t turbo from an european V70R. The ECU was re-mapped and the boost pressure increased to 1.3bar (19psi) for normal running.
He can increase the boost to 1.6bar (23psi), but will need to change the conrods and crankshaft to forged types to run it permanently. He's also upgrading the intercooler and some other bits to cope with this.
It now puts out 308Hp at 1.4bar boost (see: http://w1.411.telia.com/~u41109376/hk_14t_19t.jpg)
Tuning was done by AutotechMotor (http://www.atechmotor.com) who are also doing a 400HP S40 T4.
> One could get those guages to do that in a guage calibration test (car not moving, hooked up to Vadis cart) so that in itself doesn't prove anything to me.
True.. But he has made a longer series of images showing the run up to this speed.
I have seen a similar sight on my TME-tuned S40 T4 on the german autobahn. Pissed off some BMW 740iL drivers to no end that a lowly S40 would pass them when they were pegged at their 250km/h limiter :) :)
Bye, Arno.
