runs were as follows:

did a 14.5 first run
14.1
15.1 bogged on the line and missed 3rd gear
14.8 bogged again
then a 14.6
had lekker fun....just need to my launch sorted practice makes perfect

got some new goodies for the rolla
we planning on locking the vvt to help with better spool up
so im removing the vvt gear and had this vernier made up

Looking good. Can't wait to see the progress with the new turbo :thumbs:
thanks, im quite amped myself, im not really expecting a huge jump in peak power... im hoping for better power delivery, quicker spool up, better throttle response etc. At the moment she is quite laggy:yuck: so i need to keep the revs up

will post up results and videos next week

it was extremely misty and the strip was a bit damp
struggled abit with traction, tried a couple of different launching techniques managed 2 13.8sec runs (best i've done so far)
she feels as if she's got more in her though i just need to get off the line a bit better!
