New Hi-Flow Exhaust Manifold
During the final test session at Donington our tinpot exhaust manifold cracked. This was the weakest link since just about everything has had been uprated.
Here's what the old cast iron one looks like:
Apparently this is one of the main flow restrictions on the 1.8T engine.
Here's what the new hi-flow one from Badger 5 looks like made out high quality of cast stainless steel:
This was then ported and matched to the turbo hot side that was also ported:
Here you can see how much smaller the turbo hot side is and also that it's not concentric!
The turbo hot side now ported.
Thanks to Badger 5 for their help and advice and also PTR who worked through the night to get it ready for our next race!

Ginetta Media Day 2014
We had a great day at Silverstone with Ginetta testing their new GRDC Ginetta Club car.
Even came home with some Silverware! (Fastest 'Virtual' Racer on the Sim)

Testing @ Donington
We had a test day at Donington with the 750MC.
It was a wet and greasy start but brightened up later for a good day out on track - the first of the season!

Shark Performance Custom Remap
The TT was back over at Shark for a full custom remap following the fitting of the new turbo and exhaust.
Yet another jump in performance but we still have some fuel delivery issues above 5000 rpm - Time for a bigger fuel pump - me thinks :)

TT Milltek 3" race exhaust system
The TT got a new 3" de-cat race exhaust system from Millteksports today!
This was the first of it's kind and our TT was used as the template for more to come - yes you can buy one too!
Not only does this dramatically increase the air flow but it also sounds awesome!
It's also 10Kg lighter than the OEM exhaust!

TT Hood Vents & Pipes
In order to improve the engine cooling we fitted some race Bonnet Vents! We got these from Hood Louvers in the USA
We also fitted a new silicone TIP Pipe and turbo charge pipe to increase the engine air intake and inter cooler flow.
