Default First ever blast in my cossie

After three weeks of ownership I finally finished changing all the oils today and took it out for a spin. What a machine!

Its only a bayjoo stage 1 but it really flies. Its feels quite a bit faster than my old 24v. The delay for it to come on boost takes a bit of getting used to but keep it in the right gear and it really shifts. So far though I love everything about it from the dump valve and chatter to the kick in the back from the turbo. I'm well impressed.

Only worrying thing is I found quite a lot of oil and water in the form of 'mayo' in the oil catch tank when I took it of earlier. Is this bad news?

you should be ok with the catch tank mate as they are vented to atmosphere so moisture can get in

just clean it out every month or so
