Gear change a bit sloppy, but seems to go well. Just to give it a try, at about 3k revs in second (pulling away from roundabout) just before I shifted up (not fully warmed up) I held it for a couple of seconds (at 3k), turbo started a very low whistle (not a whine or grind), boost needle was at about a quarter of the yellow, and I felt it start to pull like a train. only done a couple of short journeys in it, so haven't got it fully warmed up, to give it some beans, but if that few seconds was anything to go by, the grin factor will be huge. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
