I am happy with how its all come together, the problem is of course the more you do the more you see you can do, Still there a few little items already on the way including: red hose to replace the blue, the filer box (being painted), a cover for the new manifold (showing the turbo front housing and wastegate), as well as a shield to cover the ABS.

Power wise its awesome, the turbo is on boost from 1500rpm and there is no real lag, its far quicker than the old standard unit. The tune was held at 385rwkw at 16psi as we maxed out the fuel pump and will be shortly replacing that with a bigger unit. Also the gearbox is coming out to get a few new harder parts to cope with the extra low down grunt. On the road it starts, runs and drives like standard except for the hint of induction noise even at low revs, of course when you push the loud pedal it takes you into a new time zone.

At this stage I am putting 500km on before we install the new pump, and gearbox mods then its another tune for something over 400, looking at pushing boost somewhere near 21-23psi.

XRdrift: PM sent

Rboksic: Computer has been moved to the kickpanel inside where there is a perfect space to fit it in.

More news over the next week on how the final mods/tune go. Then its out to the track sometime in September to play with times over the 1/4

Awesome Stuff Master G!

Looks Smicko that is for sure - I am loving all the briaded lines you and Dave are putting on your car - makes me feel cheap though cause I wasn't planning on doing any of that.

will you be sticking with a single fuel pump, or will you run a twin set-up?

I presume you have a surge tank...

Cheers,

Ben.

[Master G]

Ben,

The hoses are just blingage anyway Not sure yet on the fuel pump setup, still have the original in tank as well as one inline which we are looking at upgrading, no surge tank as yet but its also on the drawing board, so that might affect how we set the fuel pumps up.

Looks great MG; the whole engine bay looks so much simpler with all the stock crossover pipes gone, and braided lines give it a totally different look.

You should get 430-450 with 21-23lb.

It's sensible to run lower boost to start, and get used to it, then up the boost.

MG,

Congratulations on an awesome result. I know what you mean, you start one thing and it leads to another and before you know it you have one fantastic looking car and a hole in your back pocket the size of a bus !!!

Looking forward to seeing what you have planned next....

Cheers

Robin.
