Yeah I know the welding still needs to be cleaned up... :)

Next weekend that'll be cleaned up and polished.

On the previous picture you can see a little valve on the side cover. Electronic boost control :)

Dig the workmanship.

Me thinks you can teach ' Many a Lesson' or two about how it should be done.

Before I organise dices we first need to see how she runs with the current turbo. I'm a bit worried that the turbo will be too big for my setup.

I'm hoping for 12's. It's not just a drag car, track days and gymcana as well. I don't want to be limited to drag racing only.

Oh my word 4AGE,

Man id wish o could be there with a bottle of shampies to dub its first track or strip ride - would be an honor.

Thanks for keeping the dream alive for so many of us.

Its sad to think that so many guys and gals think it costs an arm and a leg to up the performance of their everyday bug - think 4 into 1 exhaust, high lift rockers, Weber Carb or Twins, Electronic ignition and away they fly...lol :mrgreen:

However, guys like you make dreaming a very possible reality....

Drive fast, be safe and have fun...your a legend!!! 8)
