WTTC mate sounds like you found yourself a good one which is getting increasing hard these days, get some pictures up so we can have a butchers.

Oh and you about to start feeling old... there's quite a few younger owners on here around 20-25 area. :D and no you will never get tired of the boost :D especially if it's you second car and you have to put up with a Vauxhaul Vectra during the week... :P

As for the dump valve it's probably because you mates got a pants single piston ceapo one where as you have a decent dual piston expensive jobbies. Get some pics of it up and we should be able to tell you what it is. Oh yea and because it is a proper rally car!

WTTC chap. And just to confirm, The smile is as permanent as the duration of ownership. Boost is a wonderful thing. I`m 46 and still get that familiar feeling. (Do they do tena - man)

Welcome dude

Boost is awesome, and never gets boring!! :D

[Fizz]

Boost itself doesn't get boring... the level of boost does though... then that requires upgrades..

Get some pics up lad!...

With regards to the noice as you change gear.. if you aint got a blow off valve then it could be compressor stall as i get that in mine too although im boosting at 16Psi as opposed to the stock figure of 13Psi.

Yes.. boost = 7 year old boy..

Hi bud,

If you click on the following link, it will take you to a website that allows you to upload a picture and then you take the link it generates and place it in here as a new post.

http://www.imagehosting.us/index.php

If you click on the small picture of a tree just above the text box you type your post in, it will ask you for a URL which will be the one you get once you upload your pic to that site.

Its late and all this might sound a little messed up but dont hesitate to ask...

regards

Fizz
