Queensland Raceway Happy Laps (v.5) 27th May 2012 (breakfast)
Could well be the DV. How much boost are you runninng? The stock DV's are pretty crap with higher boost levels. So many people change them "just because" but i decided to leave mine on with the big turbo to find out exactly what its "****ting self" point is. Which is really holding anything above 22psi untill redline. Im trying to run 26psi...
Bluefin stage 1, think around 12psi. (16 according to dr google, I don't have a gauge)
I have the older diaphragm style one though.
In checking my car pre-session, I also found I was missing the bolt that holds the intake in place, and that has solved my turbo whistle/screech problem
Hmm, I had this too, just thought it was getting out of boost, but given I was going back to 3rd it shouldn't have been. Will look into this - thanks Ben.
Al..
ps 220, impressive.

OMG - that is entertainment; I think the next best thing besides driving around the track would be to go shotgun in the Pug!! I've got sore cheeks and belly from laughing at some of the commentry - especially when you express your obvious displeasure at going into corners too hot, lol +. Agree with Rhys, the soundtrack from the engine is great - reminds me a little of the BDA Escorts.
Haha thanks mate. I was trying to hang on (to the two golfs that past me) into the corner but the back end was doing a better job at it than the front was....
As for the comentary, I didn't know the camera was recording audio as well. I'll try to shut up next time.
Haha no worries about the commentary, I thought it was kind of funny because you said it the corner before spinning out .
I think i said woohoo and "need moar powahhhhh" or something like that a few times in my video. The engine sounds fantastic in your car, very raw sounding.
