This was before he found a huge split in a pipe lol.

I think he has sorted this now and is going to run 14psi with his mbc today.

the idea was to fit the mbc today but have got rid of the kids for the weekend so have decided to have a drink instead. plus my car must have had the split pipe since the day i bought it as its now amazingly fast. since i replaced that pipe its like my car has been remapped or sumit. cant belive how fast it is. all this time a thought it was fast and the car was broke LOL im well happy with it at the mo so am going to fit the mbc after i have driven it like this for a wile.
