Test drove the williams!!!
Turbo Mini Forums

My turbo project has been on going now for many months and am now very near completion, however as of late i have found my enthusiasm lacking due to late nights in the garage, and cant really remember what the car was like to drive. So a drive in a mini turbo was needed!!!!!!

Matt kindly offered me a drive of his and set the boost to give roughly the same power as im aiming for, after several runs i was gagging to get mine done as i still cant believe mine will feel anywhere near that rapid. Just as i was getting my confidence with the car on this boost, matt the cu*t thought it would be funny to flick onto high boost (20psi or there abouts). I still cant think of words to describe the violent way it comes on boost and the effort required to keep it in a straight line, it really did scare the living sh*t out of me ( and matt i think) Thanks again for that matt, just what i needed.

My car is now runnig with just a few bits to sort out to get it back on the road, pics soon to follow

Hi Arno, thanks again for sorting me out with that part, let us know if there is anything that i may be able to help you out with so i could return the favour

If your on about the boost settings yes it is a big difference, not sure how much extra power it was mind??????
