Well done Chris

I love the way you guys have persevered with your Rexes and worked through the challenges you've been faced with; great attitude and commitment to your cars.

This is going to be interesting!

I have to be honest mate I was surprised how quick your car was on our trip to the pod.......I definitely has good low to mid range I think mine had the legs on you higher up the range. ....and you caught me napping too.....

Well I took it out for a proper run last night for the first time since changing the turbo pack.

There is still a slight blow from the downpipe to midpipe join which can be sorted, however the car performed really well.

It felt more responsive on both turbos, possibly due to the ported manifold I fitted, and also the 2nd turbo felt much stronger (as it actually has all of its blades lol!) I only ran it up to 0.85 bar, but it felt very quick and pulled smoothly right to 8.5k.

Can't wait to get it mapped now and see what a fully working set of twins can really do!

I expect mine will run the lowest BHP figure tbh, however ill make lots of torque quite early.

Well I fixed my exhaust leak this morning and fixed my sheared bolt on the intake elbow pipe. I'm now fully ready for mapping
