the youtube title says 1.8bar, which is 26.1psi.

BT used to run 20.8psi, put that was peak boost & would drop back

Thats because he's running a GT2871R, quaife LSD, turbo-tuner ECU, forged rods, uprated pistons, 3" exhaust and 630cc injectors.

LOL yeah, they'll have that stuff on the shelf next to the Fiesta bits.

Actually I've been down to Halfords tonight to get some oil. They've got a special offer of 20% off all Mobil oils. So 10w40 is £19.99, which is a couple of quid cheaper than halfords own brand.

What is really interesting is that (going back to the age old 0-60 debate) although this car does not seem much faster than mine from 20 to 60 - the acceleration just goes on, and on, and on afterwards! And since 70 is the fastest I ever drive I can't prove otherwise :eclipsee_
