been nearly a year since I lasted updated this
few snaps iv'e had it at work for last week trying to sort the brakes out as the drivers rear has no fluid coming through it i'm thinking its the compensator valve so have bought some cabby regulators and doing away with it.
new boost gauge

Absolutely gorgeous looking car. Have you ever had it on the rollers to see what power she's making?

This is an epic build and really inspiring my G60 build, at least you seem to have light at the end of the tunnel!!
When you delete the Idle Valve do you just unplug it electrically and blank off the hole on the manifold?

yes that's correct you can buy a dump valve bung that fits straight in the pipe.
