    Shouldn't need the gas, I've got a couple of kits incase


    Only time I would need it would be to help it spool low down, but I'm looking into applications we're people have an injector firing fuel into the turbine compressor to do this, sounds crazy but it been done.

    I've not, I leave all that to Vauxpro who are building my engine, there's certain things I leave to those who know and don't get involved with.

    More money then sense but fair play to you

    Although you couldve brought an off the shelf 200mph capable car for circa 10k, put another 10k into the motor & 110% hit 200+

    That's boring
    Learning how to make a car do 200mph is much more interesting
