Have you taken the injectors out of the bodies to see if they have been "modified"?

Hi Andy,

Car looks great, loads of work gone in there!

One quick question, I am looking at that air filter unit you have there, how do you stop the warm after from after the intercooler entering the airfilter? Do you have some way of sealing it off and adding cold air from somewhere or is that not something you worry about?

Cheers,

RW

can't see it being that warm and its not covered too much, and also there is a divider on the inlet of the cooler so the bottom of the cooler will be well used too

I don't see a lower friction / more efficient pump saving 10hp over your pace BG so i'm guessing they run a 4+stage / bigger rotors for more vacuum, any idea what the difference was?
already had the pace one,,there is one on the side of an engine on JG's site


i was going to run a boost gauge on the crank case to see if it can cope if not then i will need to run a vent, maybe with a check valve

Is it just a runner you use or a courtesy car or what?
