slight update, got sick of my rangi cleaning pad stuffed in to hold my pod filter together lol,
so brought a new simota pod, would have preferred a normal pod over the mushroom but space
constrictions limited my choice =(

Oh and this photo has the turbo beanie that ive had on for a while now =) makes a big difference!
i have plans for a super awesome cold air box.. type thing.. so stay tuned,

thanks mike @ sinco,
was having stalling / overfueling issues for ages now,
so decided to move the afm, and make a cold air box.
two birds with one stone, moved the afm down and the pod filter now takes in cold air from the
hole in the bumper beside the indicator!!

and yusssssss it has stopped it stalling! very happy.
oh and good gain in response from the newfound airflow :)

Battery died on the long weekend.. =(
replacing the big 20 kg + sucker with a superlight racing battery
weighs 5.8 kgs.. around 450 cca, little on the lower side, but should do the trick.

oh and i was driving to work yesterday and saw my temp rise dramatically nearly to the hot mark!!
gave me a fright, it was fluctuating up and down..
pressure tested rad and found out my turbo water feed hoses were leaking quite fast where they push join
into the fragola ( pushlock type fittings ) =/ which im thinking was caused by excess heat.
got some more but black flameproof hose to fix em, but I think ill need to replace with something more heatproof..
maybe braided or SS braid??
hmmm
