Well....
dunx nipped down the M1 to Sheffield Subaru Service yesterday afternoon...

Where Simon was working his magic

Bigarf was doing "Alton Towers" demo runs for an astonished audience

And "we" found that although mine is running 2 bar of boost on a standard STI motor all seems well ( somehow ).

After a quick re-plumb I nipped off down the Tinsley Viaduct where we found that it still made 2 bar of boost

So thanks to Lee for arranging the days activities, and after a night's sleep I reckon that the APS cast turbo outlet is fouling the wastegate

dunx

P.S. 2 bar rules...

Nope !

Guess I never will... it's coming out at the end of the month.

Still stuck with 2 bar of boost, but Simon said it sounded O.K. ( wrt to det ).

As I booted it off the roundabout "we" weren't expecting much boost TBH, so we were both quite shocked to be fired up the slip-road at a slightly obscene rate of knots

After that I forgot to ask Simon to "laptop" the bhp.

dunx

P.S. WWM were you the grey looking fella who couldn't speak properly ?
