    Hi Gurds, yea unreall just how close!

    My diy manifold, downpipe and gate setup prooved to be 100% reliable so im a happy poppy

    Feels very strong indeed and gearing is very very high which helps with traction

    Car was mapped today, run out of fueling with 850cc injectors at 3 bar and run out of time to be swapping regs so left it at that

    Still running well under 2 Bar boost but now its making much bigger numbers ;)

    See you at the club stand and strip tomorrow!
