yeah apparently it is a roller bearing t4 with small exhaust housing or somthing and dosnt take much spooling up. it might have to be changed. the head has been ported but couldnt afford to get the valves done at the time. oh yeag it has got piper cams that where suppose to be development cams.

Very nice, but one quick question...

Why go to the expense of mutiple TBs if you are turbo charging it???

Surely you just have the extra agro of keeping them balanced and are you sure that the seals Jenvey use on their spindles are designed to take 2 bar of positive pressure?

ok took the car to be based map at jamsport monday all went well bar a water leak. jamie did a top job and the car sounds 10 times better.

found a few problems a second pump was needed to keep the fuel supply constant ran out at 4 thou and 6 psi. relying on gravity is not enough so a interupter pump has been purchased..

plans to runa tubular manifolf with external wastegate and gt turbo are going to have to happen sooner than later..
