Starts at 8 finishes at 12 so as early as people can make it I guess - would say I would want to be in Goodwood for 9:00 latest

[chris.t]

I'll be getting there about 0815, peeps will be arriving at 0730 though and they will be getting a prime spot. This will be a very busy Sunday. Bring a sandwich if you want a snack unless you're prepared to queue for a rip off burger.

Rip is selling burgers? surely we get priority!!!

Great news & also good that the new system was not an expensive upgrade which did not cure the fault.

A stuck wastegate did not make sense to me. If it was stuck open then you should have eventually got boost higher up the rev range when the fully open wastegate could no longer bypass enough exhaust gas.
If it was stuck shut, then you would have been driving through a dead turbo until it spooled up then you would have hit overboost quite quickly because the turbo would be spinning almost out of control. Your turbo was just not running at all.
I didn't want to shout that too loudly because I would have looked a bit silly if I was wrong about it

mind you at the moment they cant get my piper system to fit so have no car

If you have a 2.25" system, then we can take mine over for them to have a look.
If you have a 2.5" system, then this is a tight fit & I am pretty sure it is routed differently.

You're gonna have a big grin when you put you foot down.
