Checked the website but couldn't really see anything.

Oh, the website says they have a 300bhp dyno. But I guess it's not upto date?

tbh it was too small, 300hp 2wd really dont cut it only thing is rst really and he kept braking it putting 330hp cossies on it !

so got rid, put a mot bay in and hes got dyno up other end,

if he gets another he is gonna get a big 4x4 one

Not sure what cossiemaster is on about. Nothing wrong with high boost. In fact, everything about high boost is correct. No point having a great big air pump on the side of the engine and not using it is there.

Everyone gets oil leaks now and then, did he fix it?

What went wrong at 1.5k? If it was Harvey's fault I'm sure the issue would have been sorted at no cost if it was down to SCS.

As already said Harvey is one of the best in the business and there's a lot of stuff (development etc) that goes on at his place that would surprise most.

So... To answer the guys question.. I would take it to Harvey for set up!

Here Here,

There are so many factors when an engine comes off a dyno, like the driver, h20 cooling, remote oil cooling most importantly fuel pumps, filter and regulator.

If one of them ain't right somethings going to go wrong.

Everybody's so quick to blame the builder to try and get warranty when they know fine they f++ked up them selves.
