what?

boost gauge is a working. Lawso gave me a hand (well... sat in the passenger seat and fell asleep ) question, is ~25psi boost normal for a diesel with a Variable Geometry turbo? because thats what the gauge is reading... and i dunno if its faulty or accurate

Yeah that is heaps low but i think he meant to say 8cm off the ground

well on Tuesday i started work on my new pod box housing (or whatever you want to call it). Made some templates using cardboard, then, when I realised the cardboard was too thin made some new templates.

the design is a 3 piece box consisting of a base, a back and a side wall, (lid to be made soon).

Made the base on Wednesday, side wall today and rear wall tomorrow.

Designs are similar to Dstocks but i had to make some changes because my intake tube will be entering right on a corner, which i had some dramas working around.

pics to come

Most auto shops have it.

reconnected led parkers as cables came loose.

changed headlight lamp. all at 1am in the morning.

prepped up the new spoilerless boot, all ready for spraying tomorrow

Well today I had the car retuned and got some more power out of it
now running 137.2kws.
I'm slow and steady getting to the finish line of 150

She sounds f*cking hot too!

Get those extractors on!

Yep I will have to do that.
It sounds good but when yours got a boot full oh sh*t I had to cover up the woody I was getting, I could not help but grin every time.

boot primered, will have to wait till monday to start colour and clear coats

But Brent knows his sh*t hey. Guy's a genius on the dyno, especially with a Haltech. On your first run, he just looks at the graphs & says "Running heaps lean, gimmie a minute I'll sort it."

By the time I came back from the shops with those bottles of Coke, he was done & you had 137kws

Yep you are spot on there
it was well worth the drive out there for the day, the old saying two birds with the one stone
I may even go out there every time I need a retune.
