The turbo has been an absolute blast! I'm currently in the process of adding to the fuel system with an FPR (and redoing some of the venting bits that make the cabin smell like fuel), adding Frame Rails, adding Frog arms and remapping the ECU. I got in my new brake caliper today, so that's going in this weekend. After that, I'll start rebuilding the front end. I also trimmed and re-mounted the plastic shroud in the bumper. Happy days! Before that, I was zooming at 1.1bar / 16psi. She's a beaut, and if I'm to believe the Virtual Dyno, I should be hitting just under 200whp. Keep in mind, this is on the 90hp cams, so there's more area under the graph. I think 240~300hp is about as much as you would ever want in this chassis. It's very capable in the turns, and now the engine kind of keeps up with that. I'm low-key afraid for my transmission, and the clutch is slipping all day, but I'm laughing all the way home and on tour. Great Turbo noises! I'm also leaking oil again, so I guess I'll have to do the oil pump sometime next year. As well as fix a rusty sill. I'm also chasing some electrical gremlins, so I've tied the gauges into Sensor Ground instead of chassis ground. I'm curious if that will solve my issues with the AFR gauge swinging fairly wildly. If not, it's probably an exhaust leak somewhere before the lambda. Still plenty of money to be lost on this car, but it's worth every penny and every drop of sweat and blood.

Nice one. I'll have a spy at those bad boys. The old (old) girl came home today to get read for having stuff removed.
