the guy with the greddy kit is going to be replacing parts soon. brave to run without a bov, and greddy hoses. hope he at least has the original fixes done so the seals don't go.

yeah unreal, it was to learn driving skills...


It was best fun I've had in my car since I got it, (3 years ago!) and also actually taught me a LOT.

So much driving is automatic / inherited after years of driving.... and a lot of driving fast is counter intuitive, eg turn wheel less to turn more...

As for Greddy kit, I think he has a recirculating BOV, not sure about hoses. I know he was pretty careful on the install & did a lot of research...

By the way the Turbo has an ACT Xtreme1 clutch which failed (with very few miles on it), so maybe ACT is a bit dodgy as I was warned...

it was so good finally being able to take the DSC full off all day.

It really shows just how good the car handles and how well balanced it is.

oh by the way it appears my ACT warning was right, as the clutch failed due to a sheared rivet on the ACT Xtreme stage 1 clutch.....
