You can see the IT reading at 230 on the above graph ... and I am presuming that is 230 deg C as well.

Alot of hard work put in on the ute. But it's really just a dyno queen. Not much more it would really good for dyno's & burn outs.

YEP - the whole world has to stop to see him run on a dyno, alot of the driving events planned for this years AME/HvsF show were canned because of our friend eddie. and entrants weren't given a refund for the driving events which they paid for and never got to have a go at.

check out the new street machine mag with the mustang on the front...there is a thing on a twin turbo kit for VE commodores...apparently with the kit it is actually quieter than stock...look in the engine bay and it looks stock except for the hint of an intercooler hidden in the front bar...the turbos are hidden under the car.
