    Then gavin bled the brakes and filled it up with coolant and we went for a drive. We then promply freaked out as it started smoking like crazy but turns out it was just the heat wrap burning in. Car feels really good, not much below 3000rpm but as soon as that turbo starts spooling . Here are a couple of videos i took...
