Erm, yeh. It was running 32psi when I took it out last night (forgot to select the boost control port on the ecu DOH!) at which point it was going what ever direction it wanted (using 2 lanes of the dual carriageway) and I was along for the ride. But that was with the tracking out etc so it was going to be playful lol.

Did a small 3rd gear pull before the torque steer tried to kill me lol!
Evo 5 RS
She's all grown up 
Sorted the boost control table yesterday, now have 1 bar upto 75% throttle, 1.25bar at 85%, 1.5bar at WOT. Only issue is at 1.5bar it wheelspins in 4th lol!

Whichever has fuel
Shouldn't you be on paternity leave??
Lol. Can't afford that!
So small update, didn't get to see the final torque figure before I cleared the screen (rushing around today with 3 cars to map) but on 1.5 bar it achieved 356bhp and last torque I saw was 325lb-ft (when it was at 344bhp) but I seem to think it was around the 330mark.
That'll do...
Assume it will be making it to Bedford as per usual Dan?
Not much will be touching it that's for sure!

Yeh bedford is all booked up, realistically it'll be weather dependent as to how well it performs.

Some say it's actually fuelled on the tears of fear.

Took you long enough.
How much for it?

Dan...Dan...Dan.. upload some vids. For me?
Awesome, though the thought of all that torque steer/wheel spin sounds like no fun - anything you can do to improve on it? I see you already have decent tyres & LSD!
Equal length shafts is an option, but it's quite a bit of work as no VW has equal length shafts as standard. I have an idea in the making which will eliminate all torque steer.
Lol nah never sold it

It's at Bedford with me and some others off here this weekend, so I'll try to get some of it from behind with my GoPro. Until it f***s off into the distance, that is! Lol!
I'll put some vids up when I've uploaded them.
So thoughts from anyone who saw/passenger'd in it yesterday?
@AlexW @MicKPM @Edges
It has highlighted a few issues, that I hadn't found on road use, mainly the clutch line needs rethinking as its getting hot and slipping the clutch, 360bhp is taking its toll on 140k old rings/stem seals so it's starting to smoke a little. And it needs a swirl pot, as under hard Cornering it was starving itself of fuel if under 2/3 of a tank.

Brilliant
Another video, with me chasing mick@diamond.
Also need to fit a swirl pot due to the surge you see I experience on right hand bends.
I also have some new seats
And Fully Rose Jointed front end (along with roll centre correction kit) to fit.

So Roll centre kit fitted (didn't grab a pic so here's a library pic)
I was also having issues with fuel surge, on long right handers if below half a tank. So dug out my old fuel setup from the shed. And I had a spare hour so chucked it in (the red wire was just a mock up to confirm it all worked!)

Keeps getting cooler!
Little update.
Had help from @Stopherson and @Richy182. was doing bits on his build, me and Chris set about doing my clutch.
Box out:
New friction plate:
And now we can run 2bar of boost
