got the van on the rollers today made 331bhp and 315lbft so quite happy with that, that was running peak boost of 22psi and holding 20-21psi
can run upto 26psi but ide rather keep it a bit safe lol

i just know its one as its red & has the yellow stripes
this has got to be the van of the year
top job mate
