It's been really good, no issues but it's done nearly 1000kms since we built it so thought it would be worth being check. All good, looks healthy. It's catch can is empty and there's no leaks anywhere. Finally got a dyno sheet printed out haha, torque drops pretty quickly towards to high rpm but apparently due to turbo not keeping up. 1

Shows a nice 20psi constant. It will be the 2 speed box and converter affecting the torque.

Pretty neat setup [emoji846]Also picked up a trailer for drag week next year for $180, done bearings and changed the wheel hubs to suit Ford wheels. Got rid of the rust and gave her a paint job. 2

Changed the front bar to a BA XR6 as I had damaged my old BF one, I like the BA look better. Moved the trans cooler to where the washer bottle normally sits. Moved the haltechs data port to inside the car to make life a bit easier. Need to find some decent wheels so I can have some wider rubber on the rear. Can't accelerate too quickly on the street otherwise it spins the tires when the converter locks up. Fun but useless lol 3
