I've been very tied up sorting out another car for someone, so mine has taken a back seat unfortunately. There's frig all left on mine to get it driving, so will get onto it after I finish this other car on Wednesday or Thursday. Anyhow there is that, in case anyone is wondering why I haven't updated anything yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left the cams at 00 and the new turbo seems no worse than the last in regard to boost threshold, not that I revved it much or boosted it very high. Will swap out the run in oil for hectic oil tomorrow, have a couple of things to address and then should be ready for some boost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run the rings in with my usual big cam/big turbo procedure and it's done. It varies slightly from the stock cam/stock turbo procedure but not much. I move the rev range up slightly to account for the lack of power down low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
