Just using Total bv 75w80 from Pug. I tried some 75w90 synthetic and the gearbox was very notchy and the diff made a proper racket.

BE boxes should only be run with mineral oil apparently, something to do with the synchros.

I recommend Miles at Pug racing for a Tran-x or Gripper, he'll do you a good deal!

It'd knock some of the torque steer on the head.

There are definitely quality issues with the Valeo clutch covers at the moment Yes

Heard of lots breaking lately on standard cars, let alone the charged cars. I know Birk's went the other day, mine went the week before last too, although changed it one day after work so all sorted now.

At Lynx we don't fit Valeo any more for this reason, we fit something else.

Hope you get her sorted soon Cool

Do you think Valeo are aware of the issue Rich? Is it just a batch problem?

I would say it's just a batch problem Yes

Not sure if they are aware of it, but surely the number of returns lately should give them some indication of a problem.

Will mention it when I take mine back to GSF.

No issues with my standard Valeo for around 15k miles. No

And 14.7 quarter is a bit disappointing IMO?

You should be able to break into 13s ¼ mile time with low-boost.

I think Birk has?!

It's all in the launch, this can account for +/- 1 second.

quick update... wrapped the fmic outlet to manifold boost pipe with some heat proof wrapping.. These are more ideal for exhausts i know but they give a good barrier to heat soak.. The pipework has a 2mm wall, so prone to heating up.. Noticed this at POD.. The IAT sensor is mounted on the throttle body so not ideal for any minute adjustment in actual inlet temps..



This seemed to help alot through town, but the 3" collar on the manifold meant that the shitty reducer kept popping off..

So i ordered some heavy duty mikalors and a 3"-2.5" cast reducer which should see me through some more boost eventually.....Ninja
