Haha efharisto ! Cheers man, haven't figured out the p's issue yet, but yeah still tossing up my options. The seats are calais series 2 seats, but the rears have those little head rests cos the calais ones were too big and were annoying as! Full blind spot lol

Picked up car today! Fuck yeah! Has been detuned to 6psi lol, to run everything in and going bigger injectors and a upgrading a few other things to. even though its at stock boost, the difference with the link is that its more responsive. ( and higher torque!) and the cam sounds good at idle, kinda coughing splutter type with a little lump :P Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

~150 at the wheels at stock boost. Hoping for around 220 at least with new fueling system + more boost Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks mate, not sure bout the p's issue still tossing up my options. Just got it back from avo, made 200rwkw @11psi and couldn't get a proper reading @ 16psi due to constant wheelspin. Need a hub dyno for an accurate reading. It's immaculate now, the work avo have done is amazing. I got siemens 660cc injectors, a chrome billet fuel rail, bosch 044 pump, full 3 inch turbo back, bigger turbo dump, bleed valve, machined lifters, Wade custom cam, link ecu install + a full tune. All it does now is wheelspin + ls, and it's a single spinner LOL Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
