:lol: yeah.

I'm going to invest in some ear plugs over the next few days, the car is ridiculously loud now, I haven't even turned my stereo on again yet! :lol:

I'll have to get some in-car footage done tomorrow - I don't have to drive that fast, the noise is worth it alone! 8)

That's enough gushing from me! :lol:

Cheers,

Andy

:lol: thanks Des and Atif.

I dunno if I'll be baiting cars every night - just over 35 miles to a quarter of a tank of juice today. Ho-hum, it's a laugh isn't it! :D

Now - all I need to do is badger my mate Simon into finding my bloody Plazma Dials (I've been saying this for over a year now :lol: )

Cheers,

Andy

Woohoo! Nice to come back online and see this! At last, you've experience high boost! ;) Get some vids coming. Through the gears from standstill to "ahhh mummy I don't like this :cry: " speed :devil:

Boost gauge should be with you today dude. I got back at 8:30 last night and spent a few minutes wiring in my plazma dials. I have a pic of them on my camera, will post it up tomorrow some time. I love them :)

Congrats Andy. Glad all the hard work has eventually paid off. I've been out in a FRST which is of similar spec to yours, i'd describe the high boost setting as scary :lol: Brill for the fun factor though!

Is it a dash mounted toggle switch that you use to flick between high and low boost?
