  3. Castle Combe is a cracking track, one of the fastest tracks in the uk, some tricky bits too including a awesome chicane and Avon corner, the best place to watch the spinners!

    I'll probably wander down from Reading for this, when is it?

  4. Glad you haven't gone nuts on the exhaust diameter...huge exhausts kill torque on N/A engines. Now all you need is some porting and bigger valves on your cylinder head, uprated cams, higher compression, lightweight pulleys + flywheel with maybe a little Nos and you can go chasing glanzas :rolleyes:

  5. Not a fan of bleed valves, if you have your bonnet open people can fiddle with it and turn it up to a stupid level ( you might get tempted to do it yourself :rolleyes:

    You can still fiddle with a digital one, but at least you can password protect it. Also digital has a finer control boost which means you could get closer to the boost threshhold of your components without expensive engine parts ending up on the road in your rear view mirror :blink:

    If you're going to set it to a sensible margin and are happy to leave a margin in for boost fluctuations and you know no one will play with it, go for a bleed valve as they're only £30, if you're going to keep playing with it and have maybe a couple of different boost settings, go digital.
