great video, i assume there was a difference of opinion between johnson and rouse?
680 in qualifying trim was alot but anything is possible with a turbo engine, its getting the engine to hold together for long enough. tbh it looks very quick.

Mike Smith came onto another forum a couple of years ago and confirmed it. Apparently the person doing the welding work sent a batch of Rouse turbo's to Trakstar by mistake !
Rouse convinced the powers to be they had simply welded up a damaged turbo the day he got caught and that it was a legitimate repair, and he got his points back later in the season.

Rouse had his t4s cut open, machined out for better flow and welded back together, he got pulled for it by the scrutineers and lost points, he claimed it was a legitimate repair and he won on appeal and had the points back!
