Dyno sheet for 11th April 2007… This is the first attempt at full boost after engine run-in using the T3 turbo that came with the complete motor.

18psi approx and the waste gate would not stay closed nor would the boost rise correctly and early in the RPM range as per the runs where we used a crow bar to hold the gate shut and produce another 10kW along with more mid range power. This will be resolved immediately.
Look out for new power figures when we change spark plugs, cam timing and 'clean' up the curve. The spikes are spark plug and miss related – also wheel spin on the rollers and wheel unbalance contributed to some anomalies during power runs.
In summary it goes like a cut cat on LSD; piloting this automobile also brings with it many big grins.
