I must admit the post was brought up by someone originally on imoc but I think it has more relavence on here. Early posts on imoc stated they were "common" now (

) but interest latterally then the usual saying "why change the engine from N/A to F/I".

I thought it might prove intersting to a few members though most are doing stuff well out with my time/skills.

I don't think you mandalay have cut corners at all and have taken a very sensible attitude -including the custom manifolds and pipes which you wanted to look stock .....and err have achieved that so far.

TBH the impression I get is that the beams is capable of low pressure boost -but my tuner never proved that on thje 3SGE (BUGGER). I believe the mk3 guys can run pressure in the order of this with no IC and they work Ok -till they want more and turn up the boost then I'm not sure whether it's curtains or the fat lady singing -and it's all over.

Here's a question though -would you buy a partially built beams FI ready engine or would you even trust one which was supposedley partially built????????????
