What a fantastic read.

What a thread this is, can't wait to see the finished article.

When/where will you be taking it for it first public outing?
Would love to come along and see this beast at full throttle.

Thanks Dylan

I had hoped to have it running with a few bits to finish off in the next couple of weeks but got a fair amount of work on at the moment and working on the car I have neglected a few jobs at home that I need to get sorted.
So I guess sometime in the new year it should be running.

I am hoping to take it to mlr 30-130mph event in March but not paid entry or committed to it fully. It would really be nice to get some time in the car beforehand.

Simon

What has made you go with internally wastegated turbos out of curiousity?

No point asking what turbos they are as those lips are as tight as your shrink wrapping

42 Billet x 2 should be awesome, but then I think I said that somewhere else too.
