I will have my fingers crossed for you

Had a nice catch up with a few people today & the car made it there and back, so looking good for the gearbox installation.

Thanks to Phil for the Coffee and cakes & especially the good weather!

The boost control was working fine as well, in fact even the problem with revving above 3500 went away on the way home, so Had a little play.
1st gear is hopless for a standing start, but 2nd works ok....
