Can I have some boost yet??

Its running really nicely, but really finding it hard to keep the Boost Gauge low.

Andy, Im really sorry to hear that. Your car has always been an inspiration due to the different approach, which I like. I hope you get it sorted without too much pain. I know if mine failed, I would struggle to find the money and the will to rebuild it again.

PMSL. I think I will pass. The only place I would race you is to the end of Brunters Runway. I know I would be safe as long as there are some cones there!!

So hows yours going? Is it all up and running now?

It was soooo annoying!

Wow Daz that is one seriously responsive engine if you can see positive boost pressure at only 4RPM. Mine wont even tick over at that!!

Just looked at your engine build thread Christian. Looks really good mate!!

CheeRS Sean.

I'm hoping to start bringing some boost in after 500 Miles. Maybe 7psi! That'll be something to look forward.
