Woweee this thing is quick. Much better accelerator, but still gets some surging with certain situations. Clutch holds together not too bad, slips in the mid range when I guess it's peak torque. Very little smoke, the HX30 spools really well. I had 25psi + and thought my wastegate hose had popped off but nope so might take my boost controller right out and put shims behind the actuator can to lower it...
Coolant gauge wiring needs looking into.
Other main problem is my compressor housing came loose when speeding up to 100kph, probably pushing 30psi+.
I had a really hard time taking the circlip off to clock the compressor housing, not realising it had no dowel pin so I could've just loosened it to turn the housing.
Had so much trouble putting it back on I cut it in half and hammered the two bits in...yea not clever and I've paid the price.
So where can I get a HX30 compressor housing circlip from? Are they a standard size?

I haven't finished the rust repairs, waiting on a mate of a mate who can weld sorta thing but put the car back together enough to take it for a test run. I had added a boost pressure gauge and added an extra spring to the accelerator linkage (and a return stop, took out the bit of hose I had earlier tucked behind the pedal). No EGT display yet.
