Here's mine after putting on my intercooler and new windscreen washer/radiator overflow bottles. I'm painting rocker cover shortly and will be hiding a few wires and getting a few things powdercoated. Until then it's time to fix leaking injectors I'm also considering moving my afm into a new position engine bay shot.JPG (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=15631&d=1162653937) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I also have dyno sheet for power output. But either way, pretty happy with result. Only reason I ask HoldenOn is because I know 'PSI' made very similar power to you with his old car and went 10.5@130mph with no transbrake. Usually MPH is indicative of HP.

Usually MPH is indicative of HP. Horsepower is a very loosely used term to try to gauge 1/4 mile time. For example, 2 cars could have same power, but one have a shorter diff ratio, huge stall, awesome gearbox with quik shifter and a transbrake. All of these dont increase power, but would make for a quicker ET. Also dyno readings can be taken with a grain of salt when done at different workshops. There can be a variance from workshop to workshop depending on accuracy and mode the dyno is used in. I have seen cases of 10% variances in dyno readings for the same car. Also racing conditions can affect time. Cheers

I now know why its taking you 15 seconds to get it up on the transbrake... (and no, I'm not saying anything bad about the quality of the manifold). Pm me your number dude, I'd like to talk to ya about it. And a Pic of my engine bay Its not a VL, but you'll all deal with it 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
