Well I haven't posted any updates in quite some time.
Shortly after my last post the cause of the smoking was found when the turbo failed completely, this was sorted under warranty with turbo technics very quickly but it was still a pita.
Car then fell short of the power aims as the turbo maxed out at 388bhp with 440lb this made a fast car &
I ran it like this until the car came off the road for its winter rest.

Over the winter I looked at various options & kept coming back to the peron v band turbo set up which is made
In conjunction with Nortec so after having a chat with lee at devil developments I ordered the set up with a gtx3071r turbo


the set up
with the old t36 turbo
new & old manifold

I then returned the car to lee at Devils & got this


I'm really happy with the result & am now looking forward to enjoying the car over the summer smile

I've been using it quite a bit & I can confirm it is!
It can be "challenging" finding traction at times but it's lots of fun & when it hooks up it goes like a rocket smile
