Howdy John, how are you progressing with your car? Any major changes since you were last around? :)

Nope, I've still got it running the stock turbos occassionally beyond their 'natural' limits.

Slightly more bottom end than stock, more midrange and more top end. Even the camcover has never been disturbed:d

I'm quite happy with it, reliability is top. Engine-wise nothing has ever failed in any way, remember I haven't paid much for it and my 'mods' have been intentionally very limited and highly focused.

On the highest boost settings it is not far off 500bhp, for a practically stock setup I ain't complaining:cool:

You should have come to the Santa/Supra Pod event :)

I did, but didn't stay long. Left before noon.Didn't put it on the track, I kind of regretted it later, it would be interesting to see how the 'misty' setup stacks against the singles, same day, same track.

My turbos have now got 130K miles on them, running them at 24-25psi a few times might push them over the edge, who knows...

Looking back the day wasn't as hot as Pod days normally are (good!) and traction was as pathetic as it normally is (good again, since a stock-ish auto power delivery would do less badly)

But I needed to drive home early that afternoon, so the track was a risk I chose not to take.
