Now that you brought it up, What is going on with Dilshers car? He is local to my area, we saw the car maybe 2 times and it has been living in atlanta for the last year.
Hopefully the thing is badass when its done

Great looking car Phil! Very clean and well thought out.
I was stressing this session more than I bet Phil was. I am soo glad this thing holds boost, and I just happen to get a dud.
I can wait to make it back from Vacation and try again.

You will see 20 plus PSI (knock on wood) when I get back.

No big issues!
I just happen to get a bad apple, and Cosworth is sending me a new one as we speak. Yes it was leaking from the end caps. Meth was gushing out like a volcano LOL
.There is no need to worry about this plenum guys! It's a hit IMO! It's been proven on Phils car that it can hold boost. SO BUY, BUY, BUY, BUY!!

I wouldn't worry if I was buying one.

so I wonder, Philthy has some serious headwork, yet doesn't rev past 7k... are there even MORE gains?
Phil or sharif: are you guys planning on upping the redline just to test what the plenum can do or will the smaller turbos hold back the topend (don't know the limitations of those PE turbooos)

I mean if Cosworth England is only sending Cosworth USA batches of 2-5 at a time, and one of those is a defect, that's not a good percentage. Clearly, there are problems with Cosworth's manufacturing of this unit; whether it be with not being able to make them fast enough, defect-free, problems with the cf/ caps or what not. Of course, there are going to be a few defective pieces, but when there are so few shipping/shipped, it's more pronounced. But I still want one!
....oh, you meant the plenum results
