With the new rubber and new box under my foot I am also hoping to shave a few tenths of my 14.6

coming to join BT in the 14.5's are you Dave

BT will be eating my tyres smoke

don't count on it just yet Dave, got some more unique mods in the pipelines (which may upset a few people)

[Wobbly Dave]

And blow the pistons right through the sump no doubt!

or are we about to see the world's first jet propelled 850??

I believe you can get some fairly powerful rockets this time of year - strap-on a few to the spoiler - light fuse and stand well back - LOL

[Pedro Fandango]

lol, the engine is fine how she is (would like a electric boost control instead of the mbc but not this side of xmas)

I have no boost guage in my T5

PH

So what are all the tweaks and secret mods about - i would love to have me standard gauge of the end of the white

[Wobbly Dave]

MBC will do that for you (I think) and RICA definately will

all i've got is a MBC & a de-cat

[Demon]

gonna sound dumb here but i dont have a turbo yet, whats an MBC?

[Pedro Fandango]

MBC is a Manual Boost Controller, its a valve you place in the actuator air line to raise the boost to the level YOU want

[Demon]

oh right one of them i always heard them being called bleed valve's (dangerous cos it doesnt adjust the fueling to match just ups the boost. Better to use something like an Apexi boost controller really then

[Mrsmopp]

MBC is very different to a bleed valve and yes a bleed valve is very touch and go!

[Pedro Fandango]

the Apexi won't adjust the fuel either, its just a computer controlled solenoid instead of the MBC in the line

[Murphy]

I am all rica'd up - it just doesn't boost that high - still got a reasonable 14.7 so i don't suppose it is running that low on boost

[Wobbly Dave]

Still worth checking for air leaks - not that you have any. Some cars the stock gauge goes up higher for the same boost

[Bracer]

Sorry about the quailty that was as good as it was gonna get this morning at Mack 4 dodging all the Mums and Trucks down the by-pass

Duane, your car does have electronic boost control, but you've chosen to by-pass it!!!!

Adam.

[Pedro Fandango]

good point, but with the Apexi unit different boost curves & max levels can be changed by the simple touch of a button
