TWO BIG THUMBS UP!
and that's just for the oil pressure light.
So the engine ignition spark will cut out once you loose oil pressure?


Hi Mark,
I havent interupted the ignition at this point, I should have about 15 seconds courtesy of the accusump with the light on to shut it down...I figure if I havent seen the light by that point, its all over anyway!!

Looking fantastic phil! Do the injectors and fuel pump need uprating for that turbo? I guess a tune will tell

 
The pump should be ok but we'll know once its on the dyno, the fuel pressure guage will give it away, 044's are claimed to be good to 700hp. I have a set of ID1000's here that I was going to use, but since the build started, ID2000's are now readily available, so will be using a set of those. They should be ample, even with E85.
 
Cheers,
 
Phil.

I finished the machine work on the throttle body last night...it can now house a 60mm throttle plate up from the 55mm std one. Now just needs to be powder coated and assembled
