Hmm, may have one off you in a few weeks, whats the size of them? as i may have to put the battery in the boot to fit it in aswell as a cold air feed.

Also how much are they?

bill was waiting on the tax should be there now its ready to rock and roll just trying to find a good camcorder for some vids :D

well another drive tonight in it.. now the tax is on it.
wet/damp conditions... 4th gear wheelspin, only revved it to just over 5krpm... :think:

those tyres aint going to be much fun in the damp. :hide:

found a problem on the inlet manifold which pee's me off big time. a couple of the welds onto the injector bosses are porus, and are leaking air in/out, so I have to remove the intake, weld them up properly like they should have been, repaint, and refit.. :banghead:

one step fwds, one step backwards... feck! :cry:

4krpm onwards surge is :D
hoping for some dry weather over the weekend as traction is definately an issue.

its a little wee beastie in the making..

is it just a few small holes in the welds on the mani

great stuff now its seeing some road time did you get any traction at all it will be a nice test for the diff

whats does it go like when it stops spinning
any info on when it see's full boost

yea, pin holes on their welds. :banghead:
silly speeds to stop wheelspin, which I have'nt yet been to.. (chicken) - lol

limiter will be in the 7800-8000rpm region..
it pulls in a straight line, and when boost climbs in just spins up immediately.. it is damp here so no real surprises there. stuck it in 4th and rolled onto the throttle, and as soon as boost comes in - spin spin, tcs flashy flashy

early days on logging.. need to stop this airleak, to confirm fueling and injector scaling is on par. and pull back boost.. its a tad lively :p - full scale on your gauge briefly.

:D

in stock now :)

Great, i need to get some other stuff sorted on the car before the filter, but will definatly have one off you to fill the gap once the battery has gone.

Top work Bill, this car is coming on a treat!! May have to take a 2 hour drive to you for mapping when i get round to it ;)
