Hi

Turbo logic in the gong are apparently good, he does work for Dave Stocker & Rod Penroses cars, he's helped me out with a few gaskets and advice. Its a bitch of a place to find the 1st time.

Yeah I agree, I bought my turbo from Fred at Turbo Logic and found him great to deal with, dosen't treat you like a backyarder and dosen't mind a chat. He's down south near inner harbour Ph:42747555

He'll definatly get it boostin again.

Yeah on saturday practice I found that I had poor spooling and down on boost, finally on run 5 there was plenty of blue out the exhaust. Pulled the turbo down on Saturday night in the pits camping ground by torch light after a few beers. Found the compressor wheel nut had backed off, most likley as a result of a failed AFM at the round before last which gave me lots of back firing. We tightened the nut, dressed the compressor and exhaust wheels with a Stanley knife and small file, slapped it back together ,wound the boost up to compensate for the increased housing clearances and she ran like a dream!
