The aluminum foil heat shield on the turbo looks really good. I've been searching, where did you find black anodized foil?

It’s gonna be fun. I thought mine was a little laggy but the more I turned up the boost the more responsive it is.

Quick test launch. Currently running 11.5psi, I’ll max the 2bar this season then over winter convert to 3bar and finish my flex fuel swap.

Your camera's drive shaft feels like it is bent. Maybe just out of balance.

I like it a lot, should had switched sooner. LB for LB it’s way faster.
