I wont get rid of the plates because ive always wanted Force fed and i think they suit the car rather well. Also if anyone has a set of white venetians in REALLY GOOD condition could you please let me know, im after the rear and the fan type ones for the rear quarter windows aswell.

Your dyno graph is a little strange. Looks like the wastegate cant keep up or something. Its running on 12psi and then creeps to 14psi...

it does creep slightly, i think its because ive got one of those TurboXs taps for the boost, taking that off and setting it at 15psi with the wastegate actuator soon though

It's probably the internal wastegate, my highflow can't hold down less than 15psi either

I was at my local wreckers yesterday looking for a exhaust for my VP and come across a set of VK Calais tail lights with the red pinstriping ( im not sure if they all had this??) anyway i picked them up for $50 with the center guarnish as well. Threw them on last nite after work, not sure if i should keep the red pinstripe or just paint it black. Whats everyones thoughts?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
