trentlikeshp Member 63 Member For: 12y 9m 23d Posted 31/05/14 09:15 PM Author Share Posted 31/05/14 09:15 PM a few other random bits and pieces from along the way now have e boostknocked up an easily removable plumb back sectiondid the coils and plugs the other day.. recommend these coils to anyone who has spark blowout issues, currently copping 22 pounds with a 0.85 gap with no drama what so everfound a photo from when it was first built by autotech engineering many moons ago.. made me quite sad to see how immaculate it used to be and then see the poor state it's in today.. but I guess it's hard to match the quality and workmanship of one if the best shops in the country on the budget of a poor man..suggestions and questions most welcome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trentlikeshp Member 63 Member For: 12y 9m 23d Posted 31/05/14 10:09 PM Author Share Posted 31/05/14 10:09 PM as far as I know an e boost is perfectly fine to use as long as you leave the factory boost controller wired in but not plumbed in.I wouldn't be able to do a lot of this stuff if my dad didn't have such a sweet shed and plenty of gear.. and people always wonder why I'm 23 and don't wanna leave home! haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
