At the moment, the motor is still very tight in the higher RPM range, so we are finding it difficult to throw more timing into it at the moment, so Im going to start racing on low boost. That should make the car see more work in the higher RPM range. 
Currently, the car is making 23psi @ 3,600rpm on 98RON fuel. Max power is 242kW (325hp) @ 6,100rpm.
At the moment we are race prepairing the car, so I can start hitting the track again! YAY!
I think im going to invest in a Performance Box, so I can use the data, and really start to improve.
The car isnt really worth pictures at the moment, but sometime this year, it is comming off the road, and getting the interior re-painted in gunmetal and the chassis spotwelded.

Okay guys! Selling my exhaust, as I'm throwing on a different one..
Trust Ti-R Titainium Race Exhaust, 100cell Cat, Trust Front Pipe, Invidia Dump Pipe
Should be going on the car this week! Should have some pictures soon.
This weekend we are cleaning up the car, stripping the interior and respraying the interior gunmetal.
The car is getting some custom JUN cams cut up at the moment, as the Kelfords just are not cutting the mustard.

Thanks mate.
the T67 was a good turbo, but we felt it didnt really work well with how my engine + cams were set up.
The HTA FP Black is a fantastic turbo. We are making full boost around 3,500rpm. When the new cams come, we will REALLY see what it can do.
Who knows, maybe we will run it on E85 one day.
