infact i do everywhere, lol, but seeing it in the hands of someone else, with everyone watching, preying to god it doesnt blow.
nothing wrong with being a bit nervous, come on peeps, (ps, i dont redline it, pointless behond 6k rpm ct26 and all).

That would be nice! Dont think ill get that much though. I got 208whp before I fitted the CC, downpipe, ct20b and before I upped my boost to 16psi (15psi before). Ill be happy with a 20bhp increase.
