My car is mental!!

First time on the road this year with the new engine fitted!!
All i can say is that turbo power rocks!!
But i do need wider tyres ans i was going down the road sideways

only a few problems though, got myself an oil leak and indicators have stopped working but work on hazard Confulleded and i think the fuel pump supplying my swirl pot cant keep up with the bosch 044 supplying the injectors and the engine seems to run on after i have switched the ignition off.

its just crazy, you plant your foot and the boost kicks in and your wheels spin up and you just get launched forwards in a sidwards sort of way, you cant look at your instruments, is soooooo crayz i LOVE it

I remember that feeling amazing what a bit of forced induction can do

Give it a while though and you will soon tire of going sideways when you didn't intend to! The next challenge is finding ways to put the power down
