Yup.

Just running standard at the moment.

Its not 100% right only boosting at 4psi, should be 6-7.

Ill sort out all the niggles.

Done 14 odd miles today and had to tigtend drive shaft and adjust alternator belt.

All in the fun though eh

Going for a mid spec i suppose.

Uprated acuator, forge cooler, chipped ecu, IK, de-cat and exhaust

should make about 160bhp

My other engine will make 200, wild cam, alot of headwork and a T25. Not till 2008 though

Tell me about wiring was a mare!

I was going to tax and insure it this week but it will have to wait as i have just got a flat and it needs a washing machine etc etc

So might not be out for a while again
