Rather not take the risk mate. I'm worried about using boost when it sounds like that. 3 days driving like a grandad because I'm paranoid. Lol lol

330bhp is a sweet spot power wise on a classic (road use) I've always found

What Teins are going for...? Apart from the height drop, what are you hoping for ride wise? You may be throwing the baby out

Well I won't actually know until it goes on the rollers. Simtek ecu has no delta dash to estimate power. Hoping for a nice bit of power out of it.
