yea, pin holes on their welds. :banghead:
silly speeds to stop wheelspin, which I have'nt yet been to.. (chicken) - lol

limiter will be in the 7800-8000rpm region..
it pulls in a straight line, and when boost climbs in just spins up immediately.. it is damp here so no real surprises there. stuck it in 4th and rolled onto the throttle, and as soon as boost comes in - spin spin, tcs flashy flashy

early days on logging.. need to stop this airleak, to confirm fueling and injector scaling is on par. and pull back boost.. its a tad lively :p - full scale on your gauge briefly.

:D

Bill just out of interest is the battery relocation a big job? also what would you charge?

It took some time to do neatly. The battery is a battery box, not the aluminium frame things you see on ebay etc. Its relocated in a sealed box which lives bolted into the boot wheel well space.. and is MSA approved. I dont like the aluminium things I see, as they are not MSA approved, as batteries (non sealed gell ones) must be enclosed. Gell batteries on a road car dont support the daily drivers, and go flat..... especially combined with using "amp" cable to carry the cranking amps 12 foot forward.. I use 50mm^2 cable and suitable sized crimp terminations, and junction box up front to rejoin to the cars original battery top fuse and distribution. Its fiddly..

inlet manifold is off,and i've welded the obvious pin holes up, but i am going to shot blast the whole thing back to metal and expose every weld on it to be 100% sure they did'nt pin hole anything else, hidden under their paint. I am not taking any more chances. when it goes back on its for good.
I was'nt expecting to have to reweld someone else's inlet manifold.. :rolleyes: :banghead:
