Thanks Justin.

Turns out you were right, they are your heads. I've finally found my ones.

Great work, good to see you Melbourne boys are finally getting some well-deserved loving from great builders.

Who would’ve guessed that black isn’t are standard Samco colour….. I waited 8 weeks for mine, the same time it took to get a set of custom silver metallic ones made.

Well, i finally got my retune done after running the car in for about 3200km.

Special thanks to Bruce, Benoit and Gino for spending the time with me to keep my nerves settled while the tuning took place by Cihan.
I don't know what it is, but every time i hear my car ramp up on a dyno, i think about how awesome it sounds and then as it's getting to the top of the rev range, i start to cringe in a panic and hope that there is no "bang" noise at the end of it.

So i asked for a safe tune and I got one. As expected, my power is limited by the turbo.

The car has a nice feel to it. The extra torque is more than welcome. :) I've been driving it for a few days now and I honestly think that it's a great daily setup. Cihan has made it very easy to drive and if you want to tap into the power then it's under the foot a little further. :)

I might re-visit my turbo options later onwards, but for now the direct bolton td05 will do.
Possible options would be a blouch dominator 1.5xtr (but won't be a direct fit with the tmic), or a gt/x3071 (also would require modding to fit the perrin) but i'll worry about that later. :)

Good work Brian! Great result.

What's the difference between the blue and red lines ?
