Re: 70% complete 172RWD!

I was thinking about this earlier, you said it was 5mpg before, well lets say that stays the same even with increased boost, with the tank you are fitting you'll only get 30miles...

edit: oh and cant wait to see/hear the vids

Re: 70% complete 172RWD!

mental

love it

not that mental consider how much high output r5s put out 27psi?
1.4

27psi Is that all, full boost mine would run 32psi.
