nope i wish , was going so well aswel, started to get a bit of smoke out of the catch tank so turned it of straight away , looked in there and seamed ok just looked like a bit of vapour was being burnt so turned it back on again and started to get a slight noise from top end, turned it of again and after letting it cool down and having looked arund the engine couldent find anything wrong with it so turned it on and oil pressure gauge didnt move, turned of straight away , undid the reliefe valve bolt and the valve was jamed so there was no oil getting around , managed to get it out and it was scored, so put it back in and got my mate to come pick the car up,
chris said the engine was doing great up till this point and he did a power run with 1 bar of boost but had a bit of boost creap and wheelspin and it made 473.9 and there is plenty more to come
going to strip it all down tomorow and see hpw much damage has been caused hopefully we cought it quite quick and i can up upgrade to a z let pump and maby new bearings but tomorow will tell
