Congrats on getting it finished and running

I agree you have to careful on peoples power claims for this and that - it is not just the US, it is everywhere!

Yep double agree, you have to be so careful when buying things and always double check and measure stuff when you recieve it. I have had some real problems when buying things especially when ordering from abroad........

hi Doug;
long time no talk
whats up? how is your car?

Hi Timucin

My car is fine for now - not enough power though! just waiting for Cees to get his big Garrett on his car and hit 600bhp - if he does I'll be having one of his manifolds, exhausts and getting the same turbo!

[timucin]

good luck; i also have some ideas but keeping them for later...

timucin the pistons looks like my 5:th piston and i think what may caused my brake down. my 5:th cyl gets less fuel than the other cyl. in my case it's probably a faulty ecu.
