Been for a spin this evening. 5psi boost. Feels decent. Few teething issues, rear suspension is settling fast so will need to be raised slightly and it could do with being a bit stiffer, wheels are well out of balance but other than that no dramas so far.

Popped the brackets on the the gearbox for the adjustable engine steadies and fitted one of them, got the engine tilted the engine forward a few degrees, the water feed for the turbo no longer kisses the bulkhead under acceleration. Got to drill the subframe for the other three. Also replaced the cheapo rubber bush in the top steady for a poly one. Lots more tweaking to do!!!

Got a couple of hundred miles under the belt now.

Had the suspension geometry done by a kind TM member. Just put some generic settings in for now.


Gave it's former owner a visit, thanks for the butty Oli!

The turbo oil drain split turning it into a portable smoke screen! Took about 5 hours to replace it on car! Thanks for the moral and spannering support Brett!
I think the drain is something to revise next time the engine is out! I may pull it over winter as I have a slight graunch going into forth if I change quickly (I can manage it for now by changing slowly or matching the engine/box speed).

Also done a bit of tuning with Brett, got her up on 12psi over the weekend and she seems to go pretty well!

Did discover that the oil gets pretty hot on cruise so have ordered a little 10 row oil cooler to give a go and noticed that one of the intercooler hoses rubs on the bonnet so need to correct this!

A008's are sat in the garage ready to replace the well worn A032's on it, so hopefully be ready for the IMM soon!!!

just profiled up the needle based on the data logs, hopefully it will flatten out the afr delivery throughout the needle and enough fuel for some more boost
