Could be tempted. Could they do a Sat/Sun? What are the chances of getting a courtesy car?

I've already volunteered and spoken to Glenn & Pipercross Northampton.

I'll know more tomorrow and will update IF I'm not progressing with it.

If it's in Northampton then better you do it anyway, thought it was at Revolution HQ.

I have used extreme powder coatings on the Scooby, Sent my turbo, headers up pipe and downpipe to be coated with the black coating. The coating started falling off the turbo before the car even saw the road but the rest of it seems to be holding at the moment. He tried telling me that i was running the turbo too hard and was getting over 1000*C which I thought was odd as the turbo has only ever seen 1 bar of boost on a run in map and engine is limited to 6500 rpm which reminds me I need to send him an email to organise a refund for the exhaust housing. Dont think I will be using again, wish I had gone to zircotec

You should put yourself forward Sonny after having 2 Gruppe M's and now back to the stock box intake

Excellent Tim. Yours will sound epic with the supersprint and a GruppeM style intake :thumbs:

Hopefully if you guys manage to eliminate the turblent airflow past the MAF its something I can retro fit to my existing GruppeM rather than buy a whole new one.
Good luck!

IIRC Glenn's car was due to be on the dyno on Thursday with this one to compare against OEM air box so hopefully we should hear soon.
