lol no thanks, for the sake of a few extra % points of BF, I'll keep eating what I like. I'm not about gain to much from dropping a bit of extra fat, maybe some satisfaction?

Which I get more than enough of by eating what I like :)

I'm sure it could be argued that there are healthier ways to lose fat than fasting, but I'm not qualified, or care enough, to get into that side of things.

I'll just sit and wait unitl next time, which will probably be within a week, of your change in mind about how you look or your diet.

Maybe you should try it, 'the silly fad', don't really, you might accidently get rid of that fat you dont like.

Fasting actually provides a buttload of health benefits (not just reduction of bodyfat), with next to no downsides. Not pointing at YOU at all here Dan, but I'm actually getting quite sick of the overwhelming ignorance on this subject. The next person to insist that fasting is bad for your health is gonna get a slappin'

The way I see it, I enjoy eating way too much - not specifically the taste of what I'm eating, but more so the volume. There lies my reason for fasting so often - if it allows me to binge out every now and then without being in a huge caloric surplus, then that's all that matters coz it'll keep me happeh

No idea in grams, most of our meals include either staple veggies, corn, carrots, broccoli etc and then other meals have side salads, so lettuce, carrot, red/green capcisum, cucumber etc.

I also have a few bits of fruit of each day.

Even something like a bolognaise will have grated zucchini and carrot in it. Home made pizzas on pitas will have grated zucchini, red/green caps, mushrooms, pineapple etc.

We try and include then in the majority of meals.

If you count shitty frozen veg mixes, then HEAPS. I generally like to pour as much of the shit into the frying pan as there is meat.

FRESH vegetables are pretty rare, unless you count mushrooms and shitty leafy salad crap.

No reason NOT to increase veg intake (unless you're already eating buttloads including carb-dense stuff like potato). The way I see it, just about any veg I consume has negligible caloric value anyway, so I bolster my meals with plenty of them - given that as I said earlier, my issue with food is the VOLUME my appetite tries to have me eat, not so much the taste (hence I can't eat small meals :( )...more veg = more filling, without shiteloads of calories.

Oh and veg is usually full of everything we need outside of the 3 macro nutrients :D

    • Not without making up a new screamer pipe from scatch I don't think based upon the angles of the current return. Backpressure shouldn't be an issue though as the straight gate isn't affected by backpressure in the same way that a poppet valve is, and on top of that the exhast system is 4" all the way through so there should be minimal pressure if any to begin with.
    • Can you vent the straight gate to atmosphere easily for testing?  
    • Heres a dyno log comparing MAP TPS RPM TURBO SPEED Each hump is 2nd, then 3rd then 4th gear. This particular log is using gate pressure with the mac valve completely removed. As you can see it spikes to 23psi, and then drops to 20psi over the course of approx 700rpm, this is the minimum pressure the system will run using a 12psi spring. I think my next set of logs will be changing the spring to the 6psi spring and going out and doing another set of logs again and see if the spike is as dramatic. As you can imagine if it spikes 3psi on wastegate pressure, that increases to 5-6psi of difference in the higher boost levels approaching the 28psi target with the mac valve. I even have a few logs here where with the mac valve targetting 28psi, the haltech is seeing 38.6psi.... 
    • I've got a spare standard box sitting in the garage  I know it will come one day though, but it's driven pretty tamely on the four times a year it gets out... 
    • Big question… have you decided on a gearbox? Because it’s going to come… and a gearset ain’t going to do the job.    save your pennies 🤪
