Also fitted my group a pump with new loom which was a pain in the arse to say the least, had a full tank of fuel, im sure you can guess the rest.

Seems to be going really well, holding 10psi at the moment but the anal valve dont seen to be working so not letting and more psi which is a good thing anyway until its set up. Prob gonna treat my self to a blitz boost controller so i can adjust to suit conditions etc, Was a handfull in the wet at 10 psi the other nite so god nows what its gonna be like after a set up

That is a very nice looking motor I must say. Always loved that colour and I think the standard looking cars are getting noticed a lot more now because there aren't many about.

Cheers for all the comments people

Well ive finally had the saph set up

Booked it in a torque of the devil last week, i was booked in first thing this

morning so me and kitchen devil shot down there and i got straight on the

rollers at dead on 9. Had a fairly bad miss fire on boost which chris decided

was due to the shit 701s i was running to a quick change to some different

plugs and i was sorted. It was running quite rich all round so a few tweeks

from chris and everything was spot on, came out with a very healthy

332.6 bhp and 331lbs/ft which i was more than happy with, boost is spiking

26 and quickly dropping back to 21 and holding feels very quick compared

to what im used to. Was very very impressed with the service from

everyone down there and will definalty been going back, heres a few pics

and a short vid
