I pinched Kaz's seat :D

Then drove Kaz's car into the garage with no seat, sitting in the back haha!

Shes breaking down badly under boost, but I was kinda expecting that, massive excess of fuel pressure now lol. Will wack her back on the dyno during the week & get her sorted out :)

You know what I was doing when I sent that? I was in the thunderbox having a sh*t :D Modern technology huh.... :lol:

Car on the dyno as we speak, pretty much redoing the whole map, heeeeeeaps too much fuel now :oops:

Some call Bosch 044 fuel pumps overkill, I call them 'future proofing' :D

Well, once again I left the place needing to buy more stuff :lol:

This time waste gate springs not stiff enough, not holding boost.
So we only made a lazy 200kws on 12 pound. Be interested to what that translates to on 18 pound lol.

Once again, off the Rocket Industries on Saturday morning :cheers:

Oh & its a monster on the street now Az. He's smoothed the power curve a whole lot better now so it doesn't try & leap into the nearest telegraph pole when spooling up.
I took off out the front & in 2nd demolished the tyres all the through the rpm range before I managed to get it into the 3rd with the same result :lol:

Strangley enough thou, its 'controllable' spin you might say :lol: So I can keep the fkn thing in a straight line.

So jealous

Want my wagon fixed/ finished :cry:
Talk of wheel spin through all gears... ahhh, memories. :lol:

Were they factory waste gate springs? Seems odd they couldn't withstand just over factory boost. :?
