Thanks mate, it's pretty tidy but not perfect. Just a nice and useable one

Thanks Glenn

It's been a long time coming but it's alive!

I've been putting my toe down a little bit and giving it a little bit of boost just to bed the rings in but keeping the revs quite low as I was advised and so far, so good! We set the actuator to open at 12 psi (that's the lowest it could go) so I wouldn't be worrying constantly about the boost gauge wanging all the way round!

We also set it a little bit rich just until it goes up to Tony to be mapped. Just want to get a few more miles under its belt, do an oil change, go over the whole car and make sure everything is still tight etc and then up to Tony!

Surprised at how tight it drives tbh, apart from the spring rubbing on the nearside rear, there's no knocks, bangs or rattles either (apart from an alternator that sounds like its got a mouse in it! Going back under warranty).
