Finally have some decent news.
The ecu has been removed and replaced with a Haltec then tuned by Hitman at Race Solutions. We spoke on the phone tonight after completing the tuning.
The wastegate is now managing boost the way it is meant to. Boost is set at 1.1bar/16lb at 8000rpm.
He ran to 8000 all throughout the session with no vibration issues. This was a concern for me.
Power is 230rwkw with a exact figure when I pick up the car tomorrow afternoon. Will also see the torque figure/powercurve etc. No doubt I can run a more aggressive program for more power but its best to just get the hang of what I now have before any increases in power. Still, it would be great to see what would happen with better fuel, more dwell and boost, but this is the smarter way to go. The S15 of Anthony Soole runs a 1.05 on slicks/230rwkw/1200kg so this is my goal but a 1.06 would be enough to keep me happy.
The intercooler was an issue as the set will work ok on the track but on a dyno it is limited so there were heat concerns.
He didn't push the coils. He was talking of a 2.1ms dwell time. This is expected to keep breakdown of spark to a minimum.
So its running with enough power to break any time I have done in the past and will be reliable for the Wakefield 300 which I have a confirmed entry for in 2014. There were 90+ entries with mine in the first 10.
I will be taking the car to Wakefield on Saturday night for a drive on Sunday. If I can get there earlier for second run, I will be there.
 
 

That's good news & happy to hear Matt came out to tune it. I'm sure fitting a Haltech had something to do with it though 😊 1.1 bar is really nothing & is a solid indication it's doing what it should. How is he?

Btw, what prompted the move to Haltech?

Anthony is building a mean arse Lotus race car at the moment.  If his S15 is anything like the Lotus, I suspect alot of money has been spent!

Yes Anthony has been building it for a few years now. It is meant to be almost ready but keep having engine failures. The S15 seems to be running well right now with some good results coming through. It was certainly moving around a lot in the Wakefield 300 earlier this year. He also managed entry into the 2014 race. At least this time we can enjoy some door to door racing as we will be on the same pace. Chances are, we will be running the Kuhmo or Pirelli Slick.

Matt didn't tune the car, Maroon did. He is a great guy with plenty of patience and skill. I now understand that the orginal 'hitman' is not there but replaced by Maroon.
Compared to the rubbish I was dealing with last time round, he is light years ahead. The last tune did not exist and the power sheet may have been a fraud based on the response from the tuner and custumers who have come over from the last guy.
I changed to Haltec as is has a wider range of people who deal with the produce and a huge support service. The ECU is a far quicker, has real time logging and dozens of other advantages. I feel the original unit was simply inefficient for my application. It took too long to make adjustments then load up, I could not see many things required to tune it safely. It may work well as a piggy back, but no as a stand alone unit. Being the basic unit, these restriction may be expected. I have no doubt the higher end ECU would be adequate but to stay with this tuner with on going support, a Haltec was the smartest move.
I'm trying to get him along to he trackday to help with trimming the tune but yet to see if this will be a reality. 

That's a good result by Maroun, Matt's basically related to him & passed on the knowledge upon his departure. He also supports/helps him if required.
 
You certainly made a good choice with the Haltech. Love it, no more fuss just results.

Very true. he Said there was a issue with power as it should be closer ti 260. Turns out the timing is out. Was simply overlooked but still has enough to get out there and enjoy some solid driving.
After the trackday I will reset the timing then have it tuned again.
Looking forward to a Sunday drive at Wakefield. This weekend! Can't wait.

After having the car tuned, I tried to start the engine in anticipation of actually driving the damn thing. Instead a valve disconnected from the valve stem and put that idea on hold yet again. So with 2 weeks from MTC 2014 the car is dead in the water. I will bring it along to display but unless I see a cylinder head in the next few days, it will be part of the show and shine.
 
I am seriously sick of this crap and will be going down another path in the future with the most likely one being a V6.
Like this one http://www.lynxae.co.uk/ForSale-1.htm
So the engine will be sold off, head will be stripped of it nice bits and sold or used later down the track, turbo sold, manifolds sold off and intercooler.
 

Sorry to hear. 
 
As you have said, at least its 1 less thing to stress over at the track, more time to organise and more time to soak up the atmosphere and have fun.
 
Does this mean you would like a hand pushing your car onto the track for photo shoot again 

Why not just drop a dead stock 3SGTE into it running stock management, stock boost and just enjoy some laps in the interim until you go for something like a V6. With the amount of suspension work, weight reduction and setup you have done on the car, even a stock 3SGTE should haul ass.
