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.
 
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.

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.

Why have I not seen this and what actual f**k. Look at that turbo.
I thought you sold this aswel? Im behind.
Lol nah never sold it :)

Jeez. Mega, Mega build!

My mate has a similar setup in his A3 track car running around the same power and that is bonkers, Can only imagine what this is like with bit less weight!

Any more videos i can show him?

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.
 
  Many.
Much the same for me, was surprised how well it handled, straight line speed compared to a standard 1*2 is amazing.

Epic I though, the speed is insane and the way you steer constantly to go in a straight line is hilarious!
 
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!)
