Certainly a damn sight better through the corners than me, get a diff in it and it'll be even more fun

should be getting one in a year or so, buying a house some point next year so diff will have to wait
will also need a clutch too, as still on standard one
dont know how thats lasting but hey it is

yeah, but didnt even feel like it was going to give up after that beating around track, and it aint going to get much more of a beating than it did yesterday no smells or anything

If it ain't broke don't fix!! wish i could live by that rule
Certainly did get a hammering yesterday, but that's what we build them for

that is rather high, is it defo just a normal k03s? not a k04-001 is it?
no worries chris, i'm getting them to keep the map fairly low to be honest, not going for max power, but power throughout the range
its never up near 250 sparky, maybe only just 240 now was about 230 before manifold, no more
Its a normal k03s turbo that is one my car. But you sould be making more bhp now then wath i made then. I was thinking about another manifold but dit not thought is would make much difference. And after the software exchange i new i made the ride choice.

sure is
going back to jbs with it tomorrow, to get this gasket sorted, hopefully for the last time, although i'm not on the track for a while now, so might last alot longer, only seems to do it on the track, guess its the heat build up or summin

little update, the JBS tubular manifold is staying off, going back to standard until i decide whats going on, hopefully picking it up tomorrow
going to be pants loosing power but need it to be reliable again, probs will end up getting the new JBS manifold in the end, and selling the tubular one

That seems the semsible option if it keeps blowing gaskets, shame though

right got the car back on saturday
cant use it hard, as EGT's will destroy the standard manifold waiting for JBS to produce there new cast high flow manifold and my car will be going in straight away for it to be fitted, so will kinda be a test car for the manifold, and there going to tweek the map and give me RR figures before and after with the new manifold, so hopefully will be all good
but for now its just a case of driving it normally which is difficult

So what was wrong with the JBS tubular manifold in the end for it to keep blowing the gasket?

If its anything like mine, the bolts (supplied by JBS as part of the kit) were not long enough, so the locking nuts never locked on properly....leading the bolts to become loose and start blowing, which in turn ruined the gasket and required a new one to be fitted
in the end I had some new tensile bolts made up which were long enough so the nuts locked onto them properly
however James Silverstone was adament it was my turbo

the arrogance was astounding!
anyway, I will be interested to see the production line of their new manifolds and how it performs on your car Ian
