Awesome geoff..i reckon you'll do well with this car, looks like youve covered most bases well..

boost it up to 8psi and have some fun maybe 10 for some real smiling haha.

did you remove the airflow meter out of the throttle body? i dont think it makes much diff ..i left mine in there

prepare to have LOTS of fun surprising unsuspecting drivers out there...

get lots of vids too haha

so how much power you make?

And another with the mighty drive by. Keep in mind that this is using no more than 20% throttle. Fully boosted by 3 grand and wants to pull away hard.

Quite amazing really. And yet addictive

The throttle body is something off a toyota, so no airflow meter.

The sensors include, air temp, MAP sensor, O2 sensor water temp etc.

I was just amazed to feel the pull from a passengers perspective. and it sorta rocked over and started to spin and torque steer, with only 20% throttle!!!!! Awesome and well and truly worth the wait.

I must say an absolutely massive thanks to my best mate and Master Mechanic Jason. Cause I really couldn't have done it without him. He's built this car and deserves to be truly proud.

very nice Geoff!!!

ahh cool, sounds good man..my car didnt have much torque down low but once it built up boost it gave you a nice push along..turbo was a bit big

its a big diff sitting in the drivers and passengers seat..you definately feel it more in the passenger seat
