gus no still in bits i'm having my twin plate clutch cover repaired by reyland motorsport, once i get that back then i can have my engine balanced so maybe another two weeks, cts changed my fianl drive from a 3.82 to 3.58 but you cant believe how many of parts needed replacing bloody bc box the box seamed ok only a matter of time though mtx75 is the way to go, new newman cam, custom head gasket from simon smail aka sas and a few special bits by karl bromley.. only thing pissing me off is getting constantly let for parts,

yours should be ready for the next daddy thrash its been a long time coming but by the look of your spec its going to be well worth the wait


thanks

i've run one on my cossie, and set a couple up on jap cars.


its a top bit of kit, and is awesome in what it says on the box.


The problem why you hear bad things about it, are cos some tuners dont know how to set it up to its full protential.


Perfect bit of kit to aid traction in low gears,

i second that paul hill at engine advantages is an expert at setting these up its the only boost controller he will sell i cant believe the difference its made to my launch, near enough impossible to wheel spin..
