It's a pity we couldn't get them out for the shoot :lol:

Finally had a read through of your build, Stu - a lot of love and care has gone into your little beast and it definitely shows in the flesh :)

Here are 5 cruzy laps of Lakeside in 64s (30deg day)
4th and 5th gear only, WOT across the back and through the kink
My chicken detector is the boost guage, shows if i back off (left one above radio)

Any advice on lines welcome. I seem to be stuck at that pace.

Above was done with car only making 8psi.
Monday should be better hopefully.
Addition of Billy Bunters ported modded SE turbo, a new boost solenoid which had gummed up and a new tune.

What happened to all the torque?

Is this a stock SE manifold/turbo/downpipe?

Manifold stock
Downpipe is basically stock with 100cell cat. Very basic mild steel 2.5in zorst.
Turbo is SE IHI with different wheel and ported wastegate.
12 psi

I guess it has given me some more top end power but sacrificed early spool.
However, driving around town you would never know.
I often shift early without hitting much boost anyway.
No idea about the torque.

Will see how it goes at Lakeside on Monday, to see if it pulls harder down the straights and up the hill.
