Not bad, seems that a limit has been found on the hardware.. I have read elsewhere (uk forum) that 430bhp is the limit of the 4x4 manifold.. although if Phil is making the same power and hitting the same 'wall' as you with a 2wd drive manifold i suppose that shouldn't be the limiting factor at this point.

How does it compare to the last turbo ? What's the difference in torque ? Does it feel laggier at all? When I was testing my car with the 02 meter on the street (t3/t4 standard rear wheel and housing and L6 management) and my vaccum line blew off the compressor housing I was hitting the 30psi boost cut at 4200rpm.. so yours looks pretty responsive, considering its horspower potential.

Well done, your car makes me jealous.. but it's definately something for someone like me to strive towards

New front end upgrade is well under way...
Capri struts with welded gussets for strength, shortened and fitted with Bilsteins, 300lb springs (not shown), 330mm rotors (DBA 5000 series with alloy bells), Brembo calipers from a GT-P, custom designed alloy hubs to suit, my own eccentric strut tops to allow for up to 6 degrees caster and 4 degrees camber (settings are aimed at 5 degrees caster and 3.5 degrees camber)...Will be finished this weekend...

I jizzed in my pants!

I would increase the front spring rating a little more while you have it all apart.

Can expect a Summernats entry this year Mark?
I will pay for the entry fee if your keen
