Rebuilt engine with a few internal changes (new block iirc) and a GT30.

I was convinced it would now run a 10 but not the first time he ran it

Cheers lads,its taken a few years to get this far but im there now,and want to go faster,i must be mad
It has an atlas rear end with ZF diff and Quaife shafts.
Its a GT30 from AET turbos but with internal wastegate still,which seems to do the job.

Yep my bro's got the blue one,had a small incident last year.
He is doing a few bits to his at the moment. Nothing major,just gearbox overhaul,4x4 plenum and a re-map

That wont help much

I did mean to come and introduce myself when u parked up next to us but I was feeling proper shit so didn't think you would appreciate catching whatever the fuck i'm coming down with

DEFINATELY got to organize a match up against my mates Corvette now your running so well.

Wouldn't mind seeing the time slip to compare it against his Vette as it sounds like your both running identical times now

I had it on the rollers last week but the actuator that come with the turbo (twin port T2 style) wouldnt hold more than 1.4 bar of boost. It made 440bhp @ 1.4 bar,im now runnning 1.8 bar of boost,so estimate the power to be around 480-490 ish
