I hope you do get this to the RR day Nick, can't wait to see what it makes.
I don't suppose you have any pictures of the sump baffles do you?

Looks spot on. Nice to see the project nearing to an end. I say end, its clearly not the end but more a major milestone. Well done

Whilst i get a decent chip setup for the red top injectors, i've been taking it easy off boost with the stock injectors and Mr Lawrence chip. All i can say is this could be a dangerous weapon with a turbo strapped to it, damn rampant off boost
Head work is so good I'll be lucky to see past 11 psi with the 40

Yep, this is the one i've been accumulating bits for since my saloon got wrote off in August '06. It'll be over in West Yorks on Tuesday for a custom stainless exhaust then hopefully in for a rolling road mapping session in a couple of weeks. Been a long while, but well worth the wait

Looks freakin sweet that mate.
Be interested to know what sort of boost pressures you're showing once you've run it in. Mine shows 8psi on the gauge with a seemingly identical spec and made 167bhp at aldon.
Who did your head work? Impulse?
