Am very happy with it, I reckon it will easily do a sub 13 sec 1/4 mile now

Yeah that's what I thought but you had good pictures so I wasn't sure.
It took about 2 days to have my aftermarket turbos fitted. Front subframe off the car. It then took another day to redo the outlet hose from the rear turbo which was pinning the steering column so the steering wouldn't return to centre without physically doing it.
I'm pretty sure my rattles were gone for about 12 months but I think over time with the heating and cooling some rattle comes back. I don't have rattle on deceleration, only when the turbos have the wastegates about 80% open. I notice it at about 15% throttle. Annoyingly on such a powerful car that's most often town driving. Although I must say it seems better than it was. There's always something I suppose.
Hopefully I'll get back down the Santa Pod track some time. That new surface looks a bit tricky though. There have been a few crashes at the end of the track. Probably just a coincidence.
