cheers for that man - champion, don't suppose they have the same flange positioning/size as the 48?? I'd imagine not, and that'd be just my luck. lol

Don't suppose anybody has a 48mm pro-gate I can borrow for half a day to test? We are out of ideas, I'm out of patience. sad to hear, you must be itching to drive it at its full potential?

cat was melted Ol, ended up only being able to make 7 psi lol! That'd prob be equivalent to running a 1" exhaust haha Yeh Steve I'm getting it tuned again tomorrow so I'll prob try again next wednesday just with street tyres, transbrake and more boost go for the 11 and then start saving for slicks haha

Ran out of things that it could possibly be, the only other one that I didn't check was cam overlap, thought that it could have slipped after we dialed it in causing boost to blow straight out the exhaust valves... Luckily though, it was just the cat :P *Update* Well seem this see-saw of fail is ongoing. Have developed a big end death rattle so couldn't do a dyno run today. Bearings are going to be inspected on Tuesday, fingers crossed it's not too rooted. Anybody interested in a red calais?? lol
