Yeh yeh good results guys i have leighs full setup from start to finish and currently on 10psi,fullboost anywhere from 2600rpm onwards and thats with a 1.06 gt35/40 full street tune 335rwhp. The car has previously made 508rwhp and was running out of fuel! Ive often laughed when people talk about 35/40s being laggy lol my setup drives like stock and spools up just as if it was still a tiny little little turbz Good value,good looks,good results what more is anyone after!!!!

Leigh ive got a few questions about the plenum you made for me. there is only one hole in the back of it (threaded) im guessing thats for the brake booster? What other holes do i need to make if i plan to run it with aftermarket ecu, surely more stuff has to plug into it then just the brake booster. secondly, with the throttle body, im guessing its to suit XF throttle bodies? and if so do you know what about the throttle body i have to change to if i plan to run aftermarket management aswell?

you can tap as many fittings in as you like. i generally tap them in underneath or make a distribution block for all the fittings. as for the xf throttle body you can adapt to run a vl tps but it can be a pain to setup or use the xf tps.

ok thanks for that. how many fittings and what for am i likely to need though? boost guage? boost controller? fuel pressure regulator? what else will i need? im still planning on running air cond, does that need one aswell?
