Here's a video of the 572 hp dyno run. Sorry about the loss of sound when the car comes on boost - the noise blew the microphone on my camera!

Nice one Matt. The feature looks superb and the new numbers are something else! Are you coming to Shakey for the 17th-18th RWYB? Bit of pre season testing? Wink

Cheers Neil. Not sure on making Shakey as funds are critically low. Would be good, maybe I'll have to work even harder this month...  Shocked

Hi Matt!
How did the intercooler work out? I`m curisous because I am using two of the same on my setup.
Will be used with radiator and ice tank.

the intercooler worked really well. My tank was full with ice and after the dyno run the ice would disappear, so it was pulling out the heat well. Flow thru the inrtcooler is also very good as the hp was really good. For the money I spent on the intercooler (80 quid) it is amazing. I believe Richie Webb now runs one and it works well for him, too. The only down side is it is quite heavy. Matt

A little update: It's always been an ambition of mine to have some artwork done on my car by Neil and Mandy Melliard at Prosign. Post VolksWorld show it was arranged that the car would work its way South to their workshop, where Neil, Mandy and co would work their magic. The brief was simple: anything goes! Boy, have they ever done a fantastic job - I was speechless when I saw the car for the first time yesterday evening. Aside from the turned gold lettering, there is some subtle coachlines, which really set the car off. I can't thank Neil and Mandy enough - they have done such a wonderful job and the spaghetti bolognaise was top-notch, too! Have a ganders at these pix folks! Regards, Keeno
