well its been an interesting week to say the least!

steve managed to have a peek inside the bores with the snap-on camera. looks like its number 4, plenty of damage too, also blew the tip of the plug right off!

spoke to simon a few times this week and ditto steve. plan is to hang onto it until after new years and then send the engine/turbo back to nizpro. while there it will cop the rebuild and upgrade to the latest cylinder head upgrade (said to be worth 15rwkw at the same boost and around 500rpm less lag) billet harmonic balancer and the brand new billet main cap support that ties everything together. wastegate? looking into that synapse syncrhonic one, thanks saf!

simon assures me that all the parts will be in stock by the time the engine is sent over minimizing down time, in which, mms will use that to build the fuel system.

hopefully 2009 brings the car some good fortune as 2008 was a testing year of up and downs!
