not a nice thing to call Laura now is it??
it's fine, EGT should only peak around 1050 and only 1 or 2 dyno pulls .
we have another turbo and another cylinder head so if it does go pop not the end of the world.

Thanks guys I will update you all after the event.
Oil cooler update.
Due to track related oil temperature problems I wanted a solution. I had an idea and spoke with Alex @ AKS and we decided to try some stuff.
Darkside Developments sell a kit with a Mocal thermostatic plate but the oil cooler provided was a cheap Chinese one, so that was sent back and Alex sourced a Mocal 13 row cooler and kept the Thermostatic plate.

I won't bore everyone with the fitting details but it wasn't exactly "bolt on".
We had to retain OEM oil cooler (OEM is a heat exchanger oil is circulated with coolant) however we had to modify the OEM oil cooler and remove the water feed.

Alex welding the brackets to give the right level of support.

We started at 10am and I left the workshop around 8pm. We weren't working on it flat out all day though, but it was a bit fiddly.
We did also fit H&R 28/24 front and rear roll bars. This has really stiffened it up in the corners. Lovely.
Oil temps are much better now. Cruising they get to around 80 and stay there due to thermostatic plate. Even with several hard and long acceleration pulls it barely reached 90 so that's much better. Very happy.
