Wound him up today-saw 0.8BAR peaked at 1BAR couple of times unintentionally but we've got the map and fuel for it so no drama. Popped a boost hose off the intercooler-that raised some pulses as it makes quite a bang.
Anyway-short vids I know but enjoy all the same.
I need to make a bracket up so I can do some decent in car footage.

Nice Tim, that sounds like a right beast.... I bet the difference in the driving feeling is like night and day.... well done mate, great to see all your hard work come together.

Thanks Ian, at the moment we are seeing boost build quite late due to my ongoing issue with the wastegate so at the moment 1st gear he feels nippy, then up to 2nd-bit better but it's 3rd onwards that it all goes crazy as the load on the engine builds allowing more boost to be made and it feels just awesome and a touch scary.

Looks awesome mate!
I told you about that intercool pipe blowing off feeling, certainly makes you jump doesn't it
That turbo chatter is quite loud, good though

cool isn't it Steve? Has watching this inspired you to fit something reckless under the bonnet of rexanne? Forced induction baby! It's the way to go...

Reckless will happen Ian, time will tell what. I do miss the chatter of my old turbo that said I really wanna build a screamy n/a motor. Nice light fly wheel, 11k rpm, wonderful! I'm quite intrigued by the semi peripheral set-up Tim from RX motors is running on his fb, he's almost got me convinced to try my hand at my own p port
And after all once you've got a fun n/a set-up there's nothing to stop you bolting a turbo on.....
