What It's Like Having A Mad Turbocharged Car That's Not Been Mapped Yet

You spend two days fitting the turbo and ECU

When you're done, you high-five anyone around

Then it's time to start the engine for the first time

SUCCESS! She runs, and runs well

You rev the engine and the turbo sounds insane!

You can't wait to get it out on the road...

But hold on! The ECU's not been mapped properly yet

Fear begins to build as you realise you need to drive home in an hour

If you push the engine too hard, it could blow

Nevertheless, you stroke the accelerator and are blown away

But until the ECU's mapped, it might as well be N/A

Make sure you subscribe to the Car Throttle YouTube channel and download the CT Android app so you don’t miss tonight’s epic Project MX-5 live turbo build video!

I’ll be back at Skuzzle next week to get the MX-5 mapped and dyno tested. Then, I’ll get to see what 240hp (est) is like in a one-tonne hairdresser’s car.
