1st pic you will see will be me picking it up from JnR..
Then a few days later i'll have a nice little dynograph for ya...
Im praying for over 180kw... 200 would be nice.. 220 great.
I guess it'll depend on the turbo. i think it'll handle 16-18psi...
So i'll be capped for power till i get a GT35 or something to run 24psi in it.

quick update. Just spoke to david. Few probs have delayed the engine slightly. Should be ready around next tuesday or wednesday! Yay! So assuming it arrives at joe n ricks fri or monday, should be in by the next wednesday (5th) then tuned by the 7th. Which is about 2 weeks away or so. Bout to give rick a call to make sure the engine is out. And double check it will only take 2-3 days to put in.
