manual boost controller, means you can adjust the amount of turbo pressure so i'm running 14psi rather then 8psi. Just plumbs into the turbo regulator pipes and you remove the volvo boost valve (which the ecu reads)

The Spitfire is well on route to being completed so the ugly question of 480's has come up.

if all being well then I will be scrapping the 480 within the next 6 months unless the spitfire turns out unreliable or having the 2nd car is a must.

I'm not sad about really. It's something thats been waiting to happen for a long time. I only went back to 480's after Vader because I had all new parts just waiting around. This time I do not have new parts and I do not intend to spend out anymore money.

Anyways back to now....

Was in SOHO last night and getting back was a PITA. Having already been stopped for suspect drug dealing I then started driving home in the most shite traffic ever! Having to fight buses / cars / bike things with 3 wheels / drunk people is not fun!

It really changes my driving into seeing red!

Edit... Removed the MBC. Back to standard!
