So got on the phone to the guys at forge and they sent me a new one free of charge the next day :D

Soon after fitting the new spring took Bumble Bee for a spin and it was holding boost perfect :funk:

Bought a new filter and moved to closer to the side for less heat soak, once i get the batt relocated to the boot will have it closer up front.

UPDATE

Ko3s fitted took a few afternoons to fit due to weather ect

When we took the manni off noticed there was a crack, after fitting everything back on we started the car up and it seems theres a leak, checked all bolts ect, Fingers point to the manifold so gonna upgrade it with a JBS high flow :D

So fingers crossed manifold comes next week so we can crack on.
