Default remember to put wastegate line on people!

well turns out my motor was gulping down 15+lbs of boost!! i um didnt connect up the feed line to open the wastegate :gren: whoops, so thats probably why she felt like a bit of an animal!
its all connected up now after a long stint lying under my car and im getting a bit over 10psi.
now i just gotta fix the gas line from the convertor to the carbie that colapsed on my drive tonight and made it lean uh oh!

so yeah i pretty much ran my car without the wastegate for 2 days! very fun, most of it wet and with bald tyres too lol.
