Good eye...
Yes, after converting the car to methanol we had to add another wastegate to accurately control boost at lower levels. We went from 1) TIAL 44mm wastegate to 2) TIAL 60mm wastegates. Almost an overkill for a T3 flange but we just wanted to make sure we got want we were looking for

Totally...100% without a doubt.

The numbers behind the track records we've set speak for themselfs...and what I mean by that is, we aren't just breaking records by 0.01 or even 0.10 of a second we are breaking these track records by 5 seconds + in some cases.

Putting 900+TQ down to the ground in a FWD car isnt easy...the front spoiler helps 100% without a doubt!

in some cases yes, but it mainly depends on the track.

The car usually does best if the track has a long straight away!!
