    And some photos.














    Next steps are, fix my actuator and get it back down for mapping before PVS next month.

    Thanks for looking.

    Wipers don't like over 150 mph .

    Mmm people slate a single wiper, but really...

    Lots of action & updates Bruce; great to see. That white Corsa is what like 600BHP?! You can see it truly hook up as it goes into third I mean your car with 300BHP is fast, but that thing must be like a French trebuchet.

    Only thing I would say about the power curve is; looking at it, the design of inlet isn't far off but physically needs to be bigger to get it feeling like it wants to rev.

    Thank you, it was a balls out move to hold it flat out. I'm quite surprised how stable it felt at that speed, more to come hopefully!

    I'm pleased with how it goes, the turbo spools up pretty quick with minimal lag, must be the twin scroll and titanium turbine wheel. Once I've sorted the actuator issue out and been for another mapping session it should perform a lot better, boost was fluctuating between 14 and 19psi.

    The corsas on another level! Each engine has I think 475HP, the owner Adam is a top bloke.

    Thanks for the input, the plenum was all I had about at the time and I didn't want to buy something else as I was unsure if my fab skills would end up with a complete manifold. I will in the future get one custom made, but in the mean time it has to be better than the standard manifold that's designed for a 150hp N/A motor.

    As for the power curve, it hasn't got a decent tune in it yet due to the actuator faults. When it gets sorted and mapped again then we can see what it really should be.

    Cracking car mate, just watched the video and your wiper arms made me laugh. That happened to us years ago in an old GTE

    Thank you, it moves pretty quickly. There should still be 50-75hp to get out of this turbo yet.

    A bit scary moving at speed isn't it. Was a bit unsure what do when they started lifting, I'll probably keep them off with more events coming up.
