I pinched Kaz's seat
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

Modern technology huh....
Car on the dyno as we speak, pretty much redoing the whole map, heeeeeeaps too much fuel now
Some call Bosch 044 fuel pumps overkill, I call them 'future proofing'

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

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
Strangley enough thou, its 'controllable' spin you might say

So I can keep the fkn thing in a straight line.

So jealous
Want my wagon fixed/ finished
Talk of wheel spin through all gears... ahhh, memories.
Were they factory waste gate springs? Seems odd they couldn't withstand just over factory boost.
