had the pleasure of being taken for a ride shotgun in this monster last weekend.
absolutely unreal, seems like next to no turbo lag, boosting well before 3k, zero wheelspin, piles the speed on like you wouldnt believe and handles like its on rails as demonstrated by Mat Mcrae on the roads of wrexico
an amazing job from top to bottom and massive respect to all involved, the days of all or nothing lag monster 300+bhp cvh engined rs turbos are over

Anytime mate , and thank you its certainly no slouch , we actually hit and held some big speed through those bends , and the poor blackbird we hit around 135

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Thank you for the information!
I think the turbo you are using is a massive improvement over the oldschool Garrett T3 turbos.
What incredible boost response - and still having plenty of capacity for high HP output.
Wide powerband - incredible!
I think I know where my next investment will be - modern efficient turbocharger.

No problem at all , a modern Turbo along with a good flowing top and bottom end and spark table , fueling and the CVH come massively alive.

Decided to get a few jobs done over the cold period .
Full service .
breather set up to return back to sump under the oil level.
spoiler painted and a few smart repairs on some heavy stone chips.
Oil cooler maybe , see what my data is saying on the temps.
Need to get my car over to MK Motorsport when Mark is free and get this ARB sorted and working once and for all..!
Tempted to drop a wheel size and use more of a road tyre... (maybe)

Not much to report , not even seen the car for 5weeks nearly now and not touched anything , need to get my finger out and get a quote for painting the bits mentioned,, sump im about the purchase another and have the fitting fitted to accept the return to sump etc .. ARB is in the Air at the min As MK seems to appear to be ignoring my message , no big deal ill throw him a visit at some point and get this ARB squared away. Only needs minor tweaks now .

No smells at all with it and the car really hardly breaths , but every so often the roller rockers flick the oil to the back of the rocker cover and it goes through the baffles and into the breather , done it about 4 times now in 8k+ mileage, so decided to return the breather to sump so if it does it again I don't have to empty it and the engine isn't low of oil .

Gave it a service , and went along to BD Performance for the video shoot , which went really well even though I couldn't get any traction at all due to the R888s being 2c and wet ..but had great fun and hopefully the footage will be good .. a few pics of the detail shot indoors before we filmed..

Not even seen the car since my BD video, so ive decided to start and get the ball rolling to get the jobs done and ready for summer..in the meantime I've managed to find some lovely compomotive mo5 that have been stored for the last 10 years , they need a colour change to silver and some nice 205/45/16 rubber and they will be ready to fit then ill get on with the other jobs and ready for summer where hopefully if restrictions lighten I can have a day with Mark Knight and get the traction and boost by gear all trimmed up and see if we can get her up the road quicker .

Wheres the shifter from Mat? Looked up Vos (given the logo on the render) but I could only find a truck company
No worries if you don't want to disclose, just looks a very cool/interesting concept
