Small update martin has give me a ring tonight to say the car is still on the rollers and that most of the small problems are all most behind us now . but there is one more problem with it at the mo as the car is running 1bar of boost at the mo and made 300BHP so martin put the boost up to 1.5bar and the car made 303BHP ?? so a bit more investigation is needed now . so we will see wot tomorrow bings .

Ian told me he had a problem with the turbo and didn't make the power he was hoping for..
However he said it is now running spot on and he will be trying his mates turbo to check at a later date but said on idle his turbo would actually stop spinning..

the car is running so much better now
get your heads round this then the made 300BHP 1BAR so the boost went up to 1.4BAR and the car made 303BHP it just hit a brick wall the car had a leak test and was spot on the rocher cover came off and the cams were set up on a dial gauge it then made just 308BHP in this tim the car had new plugs new leads you name it itwas been done as we were messing we had the pipe of the turbo and the motor was started up and satday dave said why is the turbo not spining the car was running at about 900rpm and the turbo was at a stand still martin flicked it with his finnger and it spun then stopped it gose run and is making a lot of boost but it seams there is no volume of air with it so the turbo is coming of soon to see wot is going on with it and then the story will start again
