I'm not sure if the owner lurks on these forums, but he used to be on PF (maybe still is?)... he used the nick "RedSuns" from memory. Apparently the carnage above was caused by his girlfriend losing control and slamming into a pole... she was in hospital for quite a while after that.

It's already faster! At Dubbo it was running ~14psi, and I later dyno'd 260 rwhp on that setup. It's now running 18-20psi (depending on weather) and dyno'd 305 rwhp at the last dyno day. 
Any faster than this is going to start costing me big money... upgraded turbos, injectors, management, diff, the list goes on. I think I'll leave it like this for a while; it's still plenty fast enough to scare almost anything on the street!

The bill from cleaning your your passenger seat when taking people for joy rides must be mounting aswell
