TB's will be going
I've had them on for over a year now and loved every second of them!!!
If I could have a NA car and a boost car then I'd do it without even thinking !! The TB's will be sold, and the money put towards paying for parts to go boost.
I Hope in the future to be able to afford a nice TB'd rallye for fun, something like a black S1 would really tickle my fancy !

Well the charger has a max rpm of 10,500rpm.
So I need to make sure that when the engine is at 7500rpm, I'm not overspinning the charger as it'd be out of warranty then
But I need to make sure that the alternator pulley isn't being overspun too, which is my main worry at the moment.
I'll put a little spreadsheet today so I can play with the pulley sizes to see how it affects things
It's a bit sad but I enjoy this wort of thing
Just uploading pics of the inlet now - by christ it's purple ...........
