Default My Saph

Needs a proper wash as its minging, but i have been out in here this morning testing the durability and bedding the brakes in.
Front plate will get getting sorted this afternoon. New wheel centre caps will be going on aswell.



A panel Dave did for me, spot on as allways

Only T4 and Greys. It runs 28psi normally but i have it set to low boost 20psi at the min as the engines not ran for 18months and just want to check everythings ok.

Ahmed said around 420bhp normally, when its cold and it hits boost cut [31psi] he said that will be near 450bhp but the injectors are well past it by then.

The thing is so quiet its scarry, brand new Magnex/mongoose 3 box exhaust and airbox.

Loader Same here mate, theres still a few things i want to do but i am going to enjoy her for the minute.

Pete the thing is i have never been one to bullshit the power my cars make, whats the point as you will get made to look silly at some point. If it made 350bhp or 450bhp i wouldnt be bothered as i like how it goes and thats all that matters imo.

I will get here on the hub dyno at WGT once i have it running spot on. I will do a high and low boost run and see what she does.
