The guys have retuned and added some more boost. Unfortunately when the engine was rebuilt, it's come away with too-high compression, so it's pingy unless they back right off the ignition timing. Still I'm happy with 212kw at 19psi.
Will look at a thick head gasket and/or e85 next year. Can't stomach the thought of another rebuild!
Just need some tyres and I'll be ready for MTC2016!

congrats, nice power and response! it might run better with e85, did the tuner speak to you about that?

Yeah that was put forward as a solution. It's safe for now and the power's decent but would obviously come easier if we could advance the timing. The ECU can handle it and probably all the fuel system components also

Too high compression is kind of an old school thought process. Unless it is 10:1 i do not see an issue. 
 
Rob is right, that is a great amount of power for Wakefield.

Any new school thoughts on the ignition timing/pinging Trav? I don't have a measure on the compression ratio. Intake temps are max about 40-45

New rubber fitted today: Nitto NT01s, 225/45/17 Front, 255/40/17 rear. The 255s are a bit oversized on the 8.5" rears but I'm hoping OK. Pretty tight in the front wheel arches too...

Making room in the front wheel arches, found some compost...

Be careful. If Wakefield can identify that as soil and material collected there in 2015, you may be slugged with an additional charge.
