It has been used and abused since it was done, done a day at north Weald dragstrip and a day at santa pod, best time of 14.1 (180hp at time) but I did have about 3/4 good drag races with a 400hp Astra and he just got me at the end lol, if anyone knows how to upload video let me no, my mate had a go and went from 1st gear to 4th and still pulled 16 seconds lol

my next step with the car Is firstly to stop being scared of the cold and whip the box and clutch out, then I will have the flywheel skimmed for piece of mind and fit the clutch kit, my gearbox that is currently on the car is my original box, only has about 70k on it but it is in pain, I destroyed a brand new 1.1 box before I reluctantly put the original with another new valeo clutch in just before the turbo build. But thanks to the engine I picked up I now have a 67k vtr box that came of a standard car/engine that has never felt more than 90hp lol. Fingers crossed it lasts at least a year.
I also have another box but it has no numbers whatsoever and they haven't been grinded off so it is a mystery box to me. Either way it's another spare.
So hopefully once all is fitted and working I'll be back for more boost,
I'll give the clutch a couple hundred miles to settle and get the boost upto 12psi flat and see what happens, then follow up with a 14psi peak setting to hopefully see around 220-240hp.

Though about it briefly but dicided against it lol, just have to view the gearbox as a service item that needs replacing every year or so. Time will tell tho as I plan on finding the limits for the turbo so whether it be box or bottom end I will find the weak link at some point lol
