Thanks guys always appreciate the feedback. That bootlip he made is awesome I wish he did make them! I don't think I would put an AU Classic bobtail on this car it will ruin the classy 'Force 6' look I was going for haha

Few more photos when I went down to Phillip Island on the weekend. Full car load and the coilovers did very well considering the rears are wound all the way down.

For now I'm running 6PSI as I still have the standard AU pump in there. I have to be careful as it runs lean in the higher RPM. I have ordered a walbro 255 to upgrade to. The car has everything else ready to go (HD valve springs, F6 Cooler, Built BTR etc) to hit my goal of 300+kw! :)

Currently battling some sort of lean/spark issue on the car. Anything above 5PSI boost it starts going 'drrrrrrrrr' and it completely loses power. It's got a walbro 255 pump I haven't touched the injectors yet. They are blue injectors, factory ones I assume. Bought new ford coils and I plan to gap the plugs to 0.8 hoping it will fix the issue. Any ideas?

Have you had the tune checked/had it tuned?
Exhaust and intercooler would be playing with the stock tune they were pretty touchy.
Get the coils and plugs done but tuned asap.
Get Stroked!!

Yeh I had bullet performance racing look over the tune and he loaded a 9psi tune which he thinks should have got rid of any ecu related limiting. But yeh 5PSI and it misfires straight away. Frustrating issue! Changing the coils tonight, wish me luck!

So much awesome! It's come a long way for sure. Did you put in the valve springs yet? I was getting some mad backfire after hitting full boost on stock psi.

Awesome! I also made a mistake in my post; I was having valve spring problems at 7 psi not stock, lol! You do the valve springs yourself?

Yeh mechanic and I had to make up a tool to do the damn springs they are so much of a pain lol! Looks like my crossover pipe has started to peel the paint, I am thinking of paint stripping it entirely and giving it a fresh coat of VHT wrinkle paint. Unless someone has a good condition one they'd sell? :D
