If you disappear and no longer post, I know why. You've been caught and locked up in an insane asylum. :grin:

Either that, or Earth is now too tame for your 'car' and you've blasted off through the stratosphere toward infinity  :laugh:

Well the R is finally back home with me and the new kit certainly works well. Can't wait to get the tune dialled in with the E-boost 2 controller. The fabrication work is second to none and the tubular manifold is a work of art. I was also very pleasantly surprised to see that they had done a stainless hard pipe down to the turbo, rather than the "collapsible" silicone pipes normally supplied with BT kits.



It will need some heat wrap and a heat shield to protect the intake.



Overall the kit is excellent and the HTA turbo spools brilliantly for its size. Well pleased.  :cool:

That looks a serious piece of kit.  Bet you can't wait to get it out on the track.

Can't wait to get it tuned in with the EBoost2 controller. It will be mentally quick.

Setting the scene....

A damp private track in backwoods of Yorkshire, the air rank with the odour of exhaust fumes and stretching out in front of you a thin sliver of gnarled black, damp, partly muddy, Tarmac curving gradually uphill into the distance. The gearstick snicked into manual mode and the ESP turned off, revs build and you are off..........the nearly worn tyres slip and grip, your head and eyes go funny with the G force and...........



Not bad to say it isn't even set-up fully yet the bum dyno said more power and the software calculates out at 447bhp. There's definitely more than spring pressure by the looks of it. 1/4 mile figures when I can after set-up. :cool:
