Had a few issues with the wastegate spring restricting boost and loosing boost pressure through a few other things.
Car made 330rwkw with 5psi of boost, couldn't get more boost into due to the faults so getting a few things changed in the next couple of weeks so that we can get 10psi into it. Should see 370 - 380 once its done.

Should have the new wastegate spring in the next 2 weeks, then back on the rollers for more boost.

yeh mate enjoying the car, rang VPW on Friday the new spring for the wastegate has just come in (ordered in December) got to go pick it up. Should have it fitted in the next few weeks then back to HPF for a retune & 10psi thrown down its neck.
Blocked of the BOV and now has a pretty good dose on it.
Enjoying the look on peoples faces when they hear a dose coming from an 8.

new wastegate spring fitted - pipes heat wrapped, ready for retune. will have update in the next couple of weeks.
The car will be on the market in the next couple of months - so if your genuinely interested let me know.

Bit of an update - the vz's done about 500ks in 6 months, finally getting around to a retune to cater for the extra boost. Fitted turbo blanket, and heat wrapped dump pipe and crossover pipe as the engine bay temp was getting to high.
Booked the car into HPF today so dropping it off monday so should be right to go for CT cruise on 23rd.

Its only done 70ks and I'm the original owner so was thinking around 30k but open to offers. Still tossing up whether to part ways with it. Spent way too much cash on it so don't really want to sell it.

Dropped car off at HPF on Monday, will be done by the end of the week.
Will post figures when I get them - at this point not fussed if it makes only 350rwkw just be happy to have it safe tuned and then time to do a few ks and enjoy it.
