Yeah got down to thirsk and what a fabulous setup. Got a real surprise with the figures too. 285lbft of torque and 282bhp. Def needs a remap and also gonna get the turbo sent to turbo Dynamics for the upgrade. will be interesting when we get to rolling road at Well Lane. The other thing was Chris took it real easy and I thought they tested bhp runs in fourth. Altho Liz reckons Well Lane did mine in fifth. So might explain the difference in power also.

Nice torque John,
These rollers do read a bit lower than Well Lane (but not much). I think my figures were within 4%.
I know where there will be a TD05FE up for grabs shortly
Thats good for 350+ BHP

I have three TD05 Turbos in the garage at the moment for the rally car. I have been told that there is a conversion for the Vf22 that will offer 400 = 450 bhp recko0n it will cost £400 for a complete rebuild and modification and it will take three days or so. Will be interesting i also got a vf 35 brand new sitting ehre aswell. Need more cars to fit them too LOL.

Are you on a diet Martin. Weight saving is a big improvement on performance and handling thats why My lass has me on a diet before the next event. Its like boxing again getting weighed in LOL. Has anybody noticed the whiteline products group buy from Demon Tweaks. Have just spoke to them and they reckon they can knock 15% off most of their catalogue products.

After getting all of Pope John Paul's luggage loaded into the limo, and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is Still standing on the
curb.
"Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver, "Would you please take your seat so we can leave?"
"Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive today."
"I'm sorry but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! And what if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning.
"There might be something extra in it for you," says the Pope.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph.
"Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!" pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.
"Oh, dear God, I'm gonna lose my license," moans thedriver.
The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.
"I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher.
The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going a hundred and five.
"So bust him," says the Chief.
"I don't think we want to do that, he's really important," said the cop.
The Chief exclaimed," All the more reason!"
"No, I mean really important," said the cop.
The Chief then asked, "Who ya got there, the Mayor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: "Governor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
"Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"
Cop: "I think it's God!"
Chief: "What makes you think it's God?"
Cop: "He's got the f*****g Pope as a chauffeur!!"
