    Beautiful car. How much power is it puttin down?
    The engine has now been test driven with 0,7 bar boost for ~1000km and it's not perfectly tuned yet it'll be dynoed during winter. The charger and injection parts are good for ~600 hp, the bottom end for even more.

    Sweet work! The pistons and rods look really sexy (and light)!
    The hose has been mounted to top of engine and exhaust housing now has a heat shield.
