Hi wis41, Got a brand new Auto-technica fuel regulator. For some reason, I dont trust this brand that much. Thought if the unit failed on me, at lease I got the factory one inline to back me up.

I ran 25 PSI through a stock E15ET for 15,000KM inc drags and it only popped as it spiked to 28 and the LT8 ran out of mapping and I heard 1 big rattle and got off it and it was too late lol. I was in 4th @ the drags so I would imagine the amount of load it was all under didnt help matters. Took a s...

so if u have a electronic boost controller u have to set ur actuator below 7psi? No. Basically a boost controller can only *try* and control boost above the wastegates standard setting. Lower the standard actuator setting the more scope for boost control you have in the lower end of the spectrum. J...

You have to have cubes and then add boost. There is no other way to do it ;) And with todays 98 ron fuels and aftermarket computers there is no reason why you cant have a high comp motor with boost. One of my cars is 10.5:1 Comp and I add 13 PSI on top of that... We have even done 11:1 Comp cars wit...

awesome drive Shaz and Gareth.. very nice indeed.. tell you something though.. those roads are so bloody rough.. had trouble even keeping to the speed limit.. not to mention the fact the car jumps accross the road when i hit the big bumps.. definately need to sort the rear suspension out to give it...
