Right, I've mounted the boost controller where the ashtray was, which in hindsight is a bit silly as you can't actually see it
Broster cut a bit of carbon fo fit in the stereo hole and mount my (stack) water temp gauge, launch control switch and fan override switch.
Me and Scot went out in it last night after me and broster plumbed in the boost controller and made a few videos, which probably WONT be making it onto youtube...
Anyway, I have 2 things to say. 2 foot flames are awesome between gearchanges and on hard launches/at the rev limiter, and at 0.5 bar (7psi) it already feels a fucking load quicker than before, when it was at 11psi.
Bring on 22psi

I won't break it, you'll get to drive it, don't worry.
The problem I have at the moment is not actually knowing how warm it is as the sender on the thermostat housing lies and the new "Stack" (Autometer ) one needs an earth which we forgot to do, so I don't know if it's hot or not.
The other night though, I just thought fuck it, the laptop is saying it's hot, I'll go and beat the shit out of it incase it has to come to bits again and I might not get a chance for a while.
It's given me a total new love for it though, and I might put the videos up even though Scot said he wouldn't launch it if I was going to put them on the internet
I can put the one of the MASSIVE flames up though, that's not illegal at all officer.

To be fair though, he's right, my mechanical sympathy is somewhat lacking, but at the end of the day, if it breaks, it breaks and I'll throw more cash at it

I'm not sure I legally can to be quite honest Jim.
I can probably edit them to get the awesome bits in without the not so legal bits on Monday.
I can definitely post the static video of the huge flames though, it's the launching video I'm bothered about.

I'll host it privately and show you, you'll see what I mean
Bit of advice for you too, get some R888s, they're pretty damn awesome in the dry.

For now though, imagine this, but with less cylinders and without launch control switched on.

many reasons.
no sound on my pc but by the video, it could be hitting the rev limit, poor map, lifting off and changing gear etc....

That happened at 0.5 bar, on part throttle, after filling up with petrol.
Clutch was on it's way out anyway to be honest, that's why I bought a new one yesterday morning.
