Default Just got back from the tuners...

After finally running the Fez in and getting the proper oil in, not the stuff I dug out of the ground its been for its tune up.

Bloke said the engine was EXCELLENT, and the compression was superb.

Said they were all in the 170psi mark...is that good? Too much for an RS Turbo?

Only thing thats wrong is the Air/Fuel adjuster screw on the bulk head is buggered. So i'm currently seeing 5% emission but good news is my HC's are in the 200's and they were stupidly high when I first had it up and running last October.

So its back next Wednesday to have the new adjuster fitted and the cam and boost setup properly

Such a bloody relief, and i'm well chuffed with myself that the first engine i built is sound
