turbo update

Post by Odometergears »

Even not tuned and running out of fuel at 4K, the 2.8L with TCD turbo is scary behind the wheel. It runs like a bat out of hell.

Still working on it for O'Fest. More to come

Just hacked off a small part of the internal pump structure. After lunch will attach new 255LPH in-tank pump and rid myself of the external. Also fixing a leaking LR break line. Will be driving in an hour depending on work. Will take some photos and video later.
