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 ;D
Head work is so good I'll be lucky to see past 11 psi with the 40 :o

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 8)

have you had this on a rolling road yet Nick?  Also, will it be putting some appearances in at shows this year?  ;D

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?
