Yes your right mate BUT ive had to rebuild many things due to a few short cuts Ian & Mr Gibbs
Thought would be OK LOL Ive just about got the car running as it should now.

Cheers Guys

I bet the GT28 is a great match for your low compression setup, with the great spool up.

How long have you been running it at such high boost? Most people dont like to run them quite that high (normally around 22psi).

Love the build!

Like what?

All I can see is you have changed the wheels?

Used to run 5 spoke Comp Mo's with polished lip.

Harvey Gibbs and Ian are not normally know for cutting ANY corners.....
