Scrap what I said about coolant circulation! It was a bit of an air lock!

Its perfect now with a fresh ticket :)

Took it up to Castleford and back 2 days ago, and it was a delight the entire way there and back! (Besides my starter motor feed wire popping off)

I think it also surprised a few people! :laughing2

I'm very impressed how smooth it is all the way through the boost, I know that i'm not pushing as much BHP as most of you, but torque steer hasn't been an issue at all.

With Brembo discs and pads all round too, its really made a difference.

Finishing touches now, I don't think i'm going to bother with a boost pressure gauge in the cockpit or a oil pressure gauge that I have all the lines for, I don't want to ruin the cockpit.

You could just wire up the sensors and senders then just run Torque on your phone to see the Oil and Boost. ;)

I can't find the thread but a chap fitted a ScanGauge into the clock aperture on his Streetwise, another alternative. :wink3
