Hi all, haven't done a lot on the car lately as I have been too busy driving it. I did manage to sort out the boost issues by changing the actuator and fixing a small boost leak. It now builds boost so fast there is no lag at all and holds steady boost to  rev limiter. It made 204rwkw on 14.5 psi, I havent got a dyno printout on my computer at the moment but I was planing to go back on the dyno and try another couple of psi now that the weather is cooler, so I will post that one once done.
I also managed to fit the gauges in the ashtray area and finish a few other small bits and pieces all in time for Small Ford Show. It was great fun cruising up to Birdwood with a few other forum members and catching up with some others while at the show. The weather held up also which was a bonus.
Here is a pic of the new gauges

I think the footage shows me pulling away from you at an alarming rate? Or do I have that around the wrong way? 
Maybe I was in reverse after all... at least that's how it felt.
 
In all seriousness though very nice car and was very impressed how smooth it is both on and off the go pedal.

Matt, brakes are awesome except for this volvo caliper manifold splitter some c..t sold me, it f...ing leaked something chronic.........Nah mate brakes are all good I am actually impressed BUT we'll see how they come up with the brake fade test for the engineers report.
Rhys, cheers mate. I like the little vid, I watched it a few times but the most interesting thing was the sound at full noise....it sounds a lot different compared to when you are in the car.
Glen, same here looking forward to some cruising with you guys....next summer????cheers mate!  A bit of a catch up sometime soon wouldnt go astray, speak to you guys soon
