Well I have been driving it every day,did do a 5 minute video incar clip but cant get it to upload to youtube,its either my net connection or I have saved it wrong,will try again

But it does drive really nice,power comes on so smooth,had it up to 17lbs boost now and its plenty fast enough for the street.Running it on E85 again now and will continue to tune it on that fuel for now.
I am going to retorque everything today then maybe take it to irwindale on thursday for a few gentle passes Smiley

Seems like 0-10% throttle movement is enough for street usage :-)

Nice work. Cool

Where's you glovebox lid gone? You're not saving weight now Cheesy

And nice to see the sun is shining. Don't forget to bring your shorts and flip flops when you come back in a few days. You'll need them to get through all the floods and rain, trousers & trainers just get too wet.

Was down in Cancun for the past week -- There was a couple leaving to go back to UK traveling on the shuttle back to the airport as us -- They were sweating (it was 24*C) and having to wear far too many clothes LOL -- they were laughing sayin all the clothes were actually mosquito repellant --

Well after the last few days of driving it and being happy with the way it is working,today I took the header & exhaust off to get them coated.One of the drawbacks of having the turbo where it sits on my car is heat gets drawn directly into the cooling fan,I am trying to minimise this and coating the entire exhaust will help alot.I should have it back by thursday then dyno time Smiley

Thanks to everyone for there positive comments,I know that what I am doing is not traditional "Cal look" but pushing the boundaries of what you can do to a Aircooled VW engine and keep it somewhat streetable was alot of what Cal look was about,and we have to keep up with all that modern rubbish people drive now Wink

Smooth?  Am I missing something here? Thought that was why people did it the modern way...to keep the tea in their cups while driving?
Are you saying there is a dark side to the modern way??   Wink

Congratulations with the truck motor Richie, it seems way to fast for back alleys  Roll Eyes Smiley

Richie, how about having a large diameter pipe from the back of the fan going down to a duct under the car somewhere? So the air the fan picks up isn't from alongside the turbo or the header?
