ok, I'll be the first to post an update - I think everyone else is probably at the pub.

New PB for me after new engine 1.49.18 - sorry Ferni - I think that is the extra 20kw I have on you.

Best save of the day - JOHN PENLINGTON coming on to the front straight and going wide and not binning it - ON THE GRASSS for nearly 200 meters at about 180 KMH it looked like - nice one :O

Most frustrating part of the weekend - SATURDAY - massive turn out and subsequent massive traffic with 24 cars on track - was a pain in the arse.

Best flame show - me I think - the back of my car looks a bit like a chimney.

Was a great 2 days and I had a blast - but I'm totally rooted and need some sleep

:O

Another tops day at the Island! New PB of a flat 1:52 which I was wrapped with considering it was my semis last outing. Also got to beat a GT3 (on the track anyway...not sure of laptime comparison) and couple of 911's and a new S4.

Lol the grip of my tyres was no where near where they used to be and as a result it was a bit of a handful.....had the car drift in turn 11 pulling hard in 3rd gear and she ran a little wide at the exit of turn two which put two tyres onto the dirt.

Only frustration for me was the bloody S4....was on his tail from the exit of Siberia and he just wouldn't let me pass so was forced to duck under him and overtake him thru hayshed on the inside!

Sorry to see people have dramas and the sight of John P's car coming back into the pits after daisy cutting was pretty funny (but I can imagine it wasn't so funny in the drivers seat at the time!).

Does anyone know where I can find results from the day...is it posted on the piarc website?

What a tops couple of days.

Had a blast...

bad luck to jack with his turbo issues with any luck they will be resolved soon and everything is back to normal...

Marcovs R32 on Sunday was even faster......

That car is insane. It used to be insane - now its even more so.

He came up behind me so fast onto the front straight I'm sure he nearly ran into the back of me. :P

What time did he eventually put down?

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
