well thought i would make the trip down and see how it goes before japshow, was full of problems:mad:, first run did'nt feel to bad but was 13.8:haha:, then done a couple 13.7's:haha:, so pulled up for abit check over few pipe's and boost setting and was running 0.9 bar:mad:,

I knew the turbo was not in the best condition but it ran 1.-5,6 bar for the last 2k miles, turned it up but it would not put no more than 1.05 bar out then went on to do a 13.5 and a 13.2 with a crap 2.2 60 foot:mad:

then driving home it sort of held back and cleared it's cut's hitting 1.98 bar, and now it boost normal again:mad::haha:

anyway i now no there is LOADS of improvements to be made and hopefully a much quicker time to come, think bit of a service and new tyres and turbo and see what happens

The more aggressive off the line the better I find mate, shifting at peak power and not over revving is all it takes for the rest.

What gear were you crossing the line in?
