Sweet, nice boost setup. I just fitted a boost gauge, so will find out what boost I'm running for sure soon. I think higher boost setting is 1.1bar, but not 100%.

Did you have any trouble getting the front bumper back on? I see you cut some fins out.

Not a fan of the headlights and fogs, but the rest of car looks sweet. You stripping out the engine and tidying it up too?

1.1bar is around 16 psi, yep now it's all together time got it to get stripped and painted ! Yes hard work with the gmc but nothing some resin and moulding can't fix!

Just picked up a new project this weekend too.... Mk3 vento vr6..an manual conversion and then I'm going to slam it on 18" bbs ch's and paint them either luminous pink or green  :grin:

Thanks

Veno front end is being sprayed at the moment, next is wider lips so I've bought a set of Porsche twists as a set of winter wheels while I rebuild the rs's properly
