21-09-12, 19:39 GMT+10#185 Engine bay prep... sanding half done. Got a little bit of rust that needs attending infront of the battery tray.
Gonna chop the power steer bracket and tuck it away some where else.
Not going to both welding holes, its only being painted in acrylic and the motor isnt coming out. Just to neaten it all up at bit.
Gonna take my fuel flap for a colour match, and have it made up into a can
Exciting times. Started dummy fitting my intercooler and piping. Might remove my air con while im there. It fits with it on there, but its pushed hard up against it

06-10-12, 12:19 GMT+10#193 Attention everyone...after over 3 long years, the VL is officially TURBO'D
Couldnt be happier.
I dont have my full license yet, ive only driven it home and around the block a few times.
Im taking it very easy on it, as the dizzy timing is only guessed and the cam isnt fully run in yet... Only on 6 psi. Just getting on boost and backing off... Still doses though
Ive got a few things to do on it...
-Fix up intercooler piping
-Put 3" on
-Boost tap and boost gauge
-Run in the cam (want to put 100-200 kays on it before is full throt on the dyno)
-Boost it up and tune it!!! Hopefully crack 300rwhp
Just hooked up my boost gauge aswell. After staring at a blank gauge for the last 6 months, its now running a monstrous 6psi
