What's the advantage to your boost controller?

Where have you put the black casing that sits there?

What boost do you hope to run and by what revs?

You going for a diff?

Does your fuel pump sit fully down into the tank?

Do you think an inline oil restrictor would help keep oil cooler?

Did you upgrade to steel bearing cases?

What you thinking for engine mounts?

Have you looked at gearbox work?

Sorry for being nosey  :rolleyes:

All engine mounts are VF engineering i think best on market
Have spare gearbox here poss fit either wavetrac or quaife diff into it be next year not taking box put again but drive ok with standard box
Have AEM 340lph intank pump which is all good
Boost running 24psi  max revs 7500 with this tune head ok for 9000rpm
dual boost controller i run 1st/2nd gear 10psi and 3rd to 5th 24psi soon to change to eboost so can run boost by gear softwear so can set each gear at different boost so no wheel spin or minimal.
Black box moved relays hidden.
Oil restrictor screwed into turbo cant remember what size.
SEM manifold next purchase, billet wheel getting fitted next friday.
