On a 1 mile straight his Audi RS6 only just keeps in front of it. An Evo fq320 couldn't keep up with it, The lad whos car it is also has an Audi Rs4 pushing around 800bhp its in the garage having a rebuild...Should be ready to get back on the road in a few weeks.
By the way he's also just bought a porsche carrera 4 turbo convertible and had that mapped upto 580bhp. Ill try and get some footage of the T5 later tonight while im at work. Black beast its not running alot of boost at the moment as it has an oil leak and Steve at the garage is trying to sort it. Also the £17k is also on the rest of the car to make it corner and stop.

While you have the car maybe ask if you can take it into Well Lane Turbo in Batley for a run on their rollers.
They have some experience of our 5 pots and have recently done some runs for one of my customers. Regards, Don.Norchi. www.kalmar-union.com UK Distributor of MTE Swedish Engineered Software. |

Hi all
Well car gone back today cos i got my Focus ST2 back, im no car nut so only borrowed the car for a day and to be honest cannot see where £17k as gone either but im only quoting what my friend Steve has told me.... By the way the work on all his cars is done at a company called SAC in kippax, Leeds, it used to be Swillington Auto Care. The name is now shortened due to remodernising(sp) and bigger premises. Don dont much like Well Lane as there rollers are not the best and ive seen cars down on power cos the car lose grip on the rollers. Darren |

People had to sit on my bonnet at well lane to keep it on the rollers not great for health and safety or air flow!
