    Raced another GT

    Met another GT1 on local dual carriageway this evening. We both joined at same sliproad, me infront him right behind. There were some cars infront f us. Joined carriageway at about 60 in left hand lane, he pulled out and went round me so i followed (Well it'd be rude not to) I caught him up quite quickly stayed level to about 90 then managed to edge passed slowly and pulled a couple of lengths!!!

    Only engine mod i have is bleed valve so i'm guessing his was standard, first time i'd raced another GT and i was well chuffed (Although my mum sat in the passenger seat was not!!!!!)

    this had been discussed 000s of time and its getting boring tbh, personally i think its down to the way its driven and depends also on the car

    i ran over 1.5bar for at least 30k then went to SEB, turbo lasted upto 94k and no apparent wear on the engine..certainly not on the bore/pistons or the cam anyhow

    you can certainly have a car set at that but if your not using boost much then it's going to last use the turbo a lot then it's not going to last long
